For a hearty and delicious energy boost first thing in this morning, this jam and peanut butter oatmeal is a great choice -- especially for students going back to school. From Sarah Coates of The Sugar Hit, the PB and J Porridge recipe includes homemade strawberry compote.
The morning meal incorporates crunchy nut butter, which gives a nice contrast to the creamy oatmeal base. The saltiness is also a forever match with a classic sweet strawberry. The compote is so tasty, it is worth making extra to serve on toast, waffles, yogurt or anything else you can think of. It was also inspired by a scene in Hunter J. Thompson's 'Hell's Angels.'
To make this strawberry and peanut butter oatmeal at home, you'll need crunchy peanut butter, honey, lemon, milk (cow, almond, soy -- whatever variety you like), salt, strawberries, vanilla and whole rolled oats.
