Super simple. The kids said it needed more sweetness, but I don't think adding more sugar to something that already has chocolate in it is a good idea for breakfast.
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup one minute oats
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp miniature chocolate chips
Bring the water to a boil, add oats. Cook and stir for one minute. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter and chocolate chips.
I really like this one, but then I'm pretty much sold as soon as someone says chocolate. Squatch agreed with me and ate his whole sample serving. Bubbie ate about 1/16th of a teaspoons worth and said it was too bland. I was watching her like a hawk and noted she had no chocolate in her nibble (it was way too small to call it a bite) and tried to get her to eat more. You'd think she was two rather than almost twelve.
I tend to like my oatmeal a little less thick, and the peanut butter makes it almost pasty. If you like your oatmeal on the runnier side, add a bit more water.
Yet again I didn't take pictures...but to be honest, it just looked like a bowl of brown goo with darker brown spots so you aren't missing much.
This was originally printed on the Better Homes and Garden's website. Their picture is actually very nice...
