“Another oatmeal recipe?” you say. Yup, sure nuf is. Oatmeal totally fills me up in the morning like nothing else. You can do a billion things to it. So we had, Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal and now Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal. It’s scrumptious I tell you, scrumptious.

Notes
You can use this recipe with your favorite oatmeal brand. If you do not use Coach’s Oats, cook the oatmeal to the package directions, then add the flavorings.
Clever idea! I totally love oatmeal too. I’m a creature of habit, so I ate old fashioned oats with freshly ground flax seed, raisins and a bit of butter and pure maple syrup for breakfast for at least 5 years.
It’s funny though….one day I woke up and decided “no oatmeal” and have now been going the protein route ever since. Mostly omelettes which you’ll see I have a variety on my blog. LOL! Have a GREAT Monday!

I eat oatmeal almost every morning. This is a fun way to change up my usual oatmeal recipe.
yep i totally agree with you
when i eat oatmeal the cravings for donuts goes away.
works like a charm
What a great, healthy breakfast! Love this and your pictures are beautiful!
Mmm I love everything about this. So yummy looking!
My kind of breakfast!
I agree–love oatmeal for breakfast! Banana/pb is usually my choice. I’ll have to try jam.
Absolutely Brilliant!
I eat oatmeal every single morning. I get creative with it. Why have I never thought of this combo. Trying it tomorrow.
Yummy! I can’t wait to try this out
Looks yummy! I love Coach’s Oats in all sorts of variations. I never put any sweetener in it, though. It doesn’t need it.
This is FAB! I couldn’t have the pumpkin pie oatmeal due to allergies, but this one I can dig into! Like you – I love oatmeal in the mornings…I started enjoying it about 3 months ago and it’s delish!
Love that you use Coaches oats! They are our favorite. My family likes peanut butter mixed in and topped with chocolate chips or topped with raspberries and chocolate chips. Can you tell I have teenagers?
I love, love, love oatmeal! Sometimes I put a little peanut butter in mine, but I’ve never tried it with jelly too. Good idea Leslie!
Brilliant. My daughter is a PB and J hound, she’ll LOVE this!
Now that’s what I can oatmeal! Looks so yummy, Leslie, and what a creative way to mix things up! Thanks for sharing.
My son would DIG this!
this sounds so yummy! i’m definitely going to try this. and where in the world did you get those bowls? i have to have them…they are gorgeous!
Thanks Lindsey..
That bowl?? Oh my….I actually got it at Michaels Crafts for $1 last Christmas. If you look at it from above it is in the shape of a Christmas ornament! I got a few in red and white. They do look pretty in photos.
Looks great! I’m a huge fan of oatmeal….perfect breakfast!!!
I absolutely love this idea. We will be having this one school morning for sure.
Absolutely love peanut butter in my oatmeal….we buy our oatmeal from the farmer’s market and it’s so much better than what grocery stores sell.
THanks for your rice pudding recipe from 2008.
I love oatmeal and this one looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!
yes! i can’t wait to make this!
I bet the kids love that! Would you believe I like my oatmeal plain? Yes, I do. No fruit, no nothing. I am an odd duck.
Great recipe! I am sure my little one love this….me too!
I’ve been bored with my morning oatmeal lately. This is a good way to jazz it up!
