Pb & J Oatmeal
"From Quaker Oats recipe booklet from 1989. My kids love this for breakfast but I love it too as I'm such a peanut butter nut (pun intended). Top this or swirl in your favorite jelly or preserves. I love using strawberry preserves or apple jelly."

Tastes like im having pb&j for breakfast! I usually have mine with brown sugar and raisons but this makes a nice change that I will be making for breakfast! -
I'm sorry to say this, but this recipe didn't wow my husband and I. I used old fashioned oats, and topped mine with black berry jam, and hubby topped his with seedless red raspberry jam (about 1-1/2 tablespoons each), but the taste of peanut butter didn't come through. One thing I did want to mention, be sure to let the oatmeal set for about 5 minutes or so before eating, as this oatmeal is quite 'hot' temp-wise, and you don't want to burn your tongue. -
YUM, what a delicious start to the day! This oatmeal is very creamy and satisfying and I am sure it will keep me going all day long. I loved the addition of pb and j! So yummy! I used cherry jam and tea instead of water and that worked out very nicely.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, HokiesMom!<br/>Made and reviewed for Think Pink October 2012. -

What a fun take on oatmeal. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I used natural chunky peanut butter and simply fruit raspberry jam. No need for adding sweeteners! :)

Yummy variation on oatmeal! I used creamy peanut butter and also added some milk instead of water, since I always use milk in my oatmeal. I used a really nice strawberry-kiwi jam from the farmer's market, which was really excellent in this. Thanks for sharing! -
This was good and filling. I followed the recipe other then I used milk instead of water. I also made this in the microwave instead of on the stove. -
Very yummy - I love peanut butter and oatmeal, so this was great for me! I used blackberry preserves. I added a little flax seed meal and used some skim milk in place of water for my oatmeal and really enjoyed. I did mine in the microwave as I always do. Made for Photo Tag.
