A delicious and easy recipe of Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal, that encapsulates the nostalgia of homemade lunches, but for breakfast!
Another month, and it’s already started off super busy. I’m beginning to see a theme here! While tomorrow I have a catch up post, of the more personal kind (which I mostly never do), today I have a simple breakfast recipe that you will absolutely love. It has all of the nostalgic flavors of homemade school lunches, but with a different texture and a comforting warmth about it.
With ingredients that are incredibly easy to attain, you can make this peanut butter & jelly oatmeal breakfast in minutes. In fact, right after I made the first batch I told my mother about it, she was intrigued so I whipped up another serving in no time at all. The verdict? This breakfast is a winner in our books!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Non-Dairy Milk
- 1/2 Cup Mixed Berries (I used Diced Strawberries and Blackberries)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp . Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Tbsp . Maple Syrup
- 1/4 tsp . Vanilla Extract
- Small Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Place the rolled oats, water and non-dairy milk into a small pot over medium heat. Once the water starts to boil, turn it down to low-medium heat.
- Stir the rest of the ingredients into the oat mixture and keep stirring until the oatmeal is to your desired consistency (thin or thicker). Garnish with a bit of peanut butter and an extra berry to be fancy! 😉

I’ve often thought about doing this, but never fully committed to the idea. Now I know it’s a winner! This is right up my alley and such a good way to use all the fresh fruit that’s available right now! Yay!
Beautiful photos too- especially that last one with the little raspberry hanging off the edge of the spoon. I want to take that bite!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad that you commented on the fresh fruit, because that is exactly what I was going for; plus, just using jelly would be too easy. 😛

Has anyone tried it with steel cut oats?
Not yet! I might try it out next week with them, since I just bought a bag. I’ll let you know how it goes! 🙂
I like to add a bit of chopped nuts to my oatmeal as well.
I’ve been really digging overnight oats lately! I might see if I can make this work in a jar! 🙂 xo
