Our quick breakfast at our house...
Strawberry Blueberry PB Oats (one serving)
4 frozen strawberries
1/2 c old fashioned rolled oats
Slightly more than 1/2 c water
1 TB all-natural, unsweetened peanut butter
1/4 c frozen blueberries
Put strawberries, oats, and water in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for approximately 1 and 1/2 minutes (this is tricky, bc it depends on how much water, how cooked you like your oats, your microwave, etc. For us, we can do exactly 1:30). Remove from microwave, add peanut butter and roughly chop strawberries as you stir. Add blueberries. Enjoy!
I like using frozen berries for a couple reasons. First, convenience. Also, I like the flavor and texture of fresh berries, but I also like the flavor of the strawberries infused into the oats from cooking. This way I get the best of both, bc the strawberries don't get the mushy, cooked texture and flavor that I don't really like. Same with the blueberries. The heat of the cooked oatmeal thaws them, but they don't lose that pop of flavor that cooked blueberries don't have.
Yum! Thank you so much for posting this, Cindy! Can't wait to try it. :)
