PB & J Oatmeal in a Cup

by

This recipe was adapted from some ideas that my mother – in – law and sister – in – law gave me . . . and I ran with it! This recipe is great for those of you on the go, and needing a breakfast that has protein and complex carbs in it! The recipe does need to be prepared the night before so please keep that in mind, otherwise, enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter/almond butter (or other nut butters)
  • 1 tbsp mom’s (or dad’s) homemade jam
  • 1 cup of mixed berries (I like to use raspberries and blueberries)
  • 1/2 cup of steel cut oats
  • 1/2-1 cup of almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Cover 1/2 cup of oats with water and let soak for approximately 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, drain the oats and put in a travel container or container with lid (I usually use a magic bullet cup).
  3. Add enough almond milk to the cup until the oats are just covered.
  4. Add in the remainder of your ingredients to the cup and cover. Let sit in refrigerator over-night until next morning.
  5. In the morning, simple mix the contents of the cup and enjoy!
