Peanut Butter Oatmeal

Step 1

Place 1 1/2 cups milk or water, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.

Step 2

Add 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and stir to combine. Cook, stirring often, until about 2/3 of the liquid has been absorbed by the oats, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes. (The oatmeal will still look very runny.) Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Uncover, add 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and stir until well combined. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
