Anyone tried oats with peanut butter?

This is what I do:
Cook quick-cooking oats in the microwave with just enough water. Immediately mix in a generous tbs of peanut butter. Add milk to adjust to desired consistency. Dribble a tsp or two of honey.
DS luvs his oats this way.

Hi tisha,

Wow, first time I heard of oats with peanut butter!
Can try prata with peanut butter too, I think?

How about Pancakes with fruits like banana? Blueberries? or Strawberry?

French toast with fruit jam?
Cranberries & Oats muffins?
occasionally Chocolate oats cookies?
Pumpkin sweetbuns?
Chicken porridge?

:drool: :drool:

But won't some of the things like muffins and porridge take too long to prepare? Morning no time.
BTW do you have a tried and tested recipe for muffins?

Muffins are not difficult to make...infact they are more \"healthier\" compare to cupcakes as muffins require lesser butter/oil.....I had made several times but pics store at home's laptop...try loading tonight...heehee, I snake into kaisu forum while working



Blackberries oatmeal muffins (extracted from web blog)

•\t1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk or fresh milk
•\t1/2 cup oatmeal
•\t1 egg
•\t2 tbsp olive oil
•\t1/2 tsp vanilla essence
•\t60gm plain flour
•\t3 tbsp brown sugar
•\t1 tsp baking powder
•\t1/4 teaspoon salt
•\t1 cup frozen blackberries (can replace by cranberries, blueberrie. strawberries)

Method
1.In a small bowl, combine milk and oats and soak for 15 minutes.
2.In a separate bowl, beat together egg, vanilla essence and oil; stir in oatmeal mixture.
3.Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in sugar.
4.Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Fold in blackberries.
5.Spoon batter into muffin cups until cups. Bake in preheated oven 200 deg cel for 15mins, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.


Muffins take abt 15mins (easy cos dun need mixer) preparation and 15-20mins baking thus should be manageable during weekends morning or alternatively make it the night before and reheat it the next morning.

As for porridge, before doing your daily morning chores ie brushing the teeth etc, wash rice and let it brew/boil....then add in seasoning and already marinated chicken pcs....thats it.

Enjoy.

Sounds easy enough. Where do you buy the frozen berries? I find the fresh blue berries in the supermarket literally tasteless and flavourless. I'd be interested in frozen berries, can make milkshake and smooties too. Don't remember seeing them in NTUC.

I have seen them at NTUC @ NEX. I suppose you might be able to find them in the big NTUCs

Hi! My son refuses to eat in the mornings. He would only drink water before going to school. I know it’s no good but any ideas why? How to help him?

When blueberries are in season, they can be quite cheap. So I'll stock up and freeze them at home for when I want to make blueberry muffins. I love how the blueberries burst in the muffin during the baking process and drench the muffin with their yummilicious juices!

This sounds delicious! Going to try it. DS2 loves oats with raisins, but I'm sure he'll like your version too.
