Peanut Butter Oats.



As a child, my Mother tried to force feed oatmeal to both my brothers and I. The only way we would consume the hot mush is with about 1 cup of brown sugar and a 1/2 carton of half & half. Mmm. Health food. These days, I work to create a healthier version of my childhood feast. Here goes it!

1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup vanilla almond or soy milk


1 TBSP creamy peanut butter
1 banana, sliced
