Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the water and start to soften.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsweetened almond milk to make the oatmeal creamy.

Step 4

Add the creamy unsalted peanut butter to the oats, stirring until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Sweeten the oatmeal by mixing in the honey, then add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract for flavor.

Step 6

Continue to cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens to your preference.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.

Step 8

Serve the oatmeal hot, garnished with optional toppings such as chopped nuts and fresh fruit slices to add texture and additional flavor.
