Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- ½ tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
Instructions
- In a medium pot, cooked the rolled oats with the water, according to package directions (typically bring to a boil then simmer for 4-5 minutes). Pour the oats into a bowl and set aside for now.
- Meanwhile, add the strawberries and maple syrup to another small pot and place over medium-low heat. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the strawberries are soft. Mash them with a potato masher or the back of a fork.
- Add the chia seeds to the pot and cook for another minute, then turn off heat. Let sit for a moment and the mixture will thicken up to a jam-like texture.
- Drizzle peanut butter onto your bowl of oatmeal, and then add the warm strawberry chia jam. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want to save yourself dishes, cook the oats first, then rinse out the pot and make your chia jam. I find that the oatmeal stays pretty warm while taking the few minutes to make the strawberry chia jam, so it's nice to use one pot and save time on dishes.
- Feel free to use instant oats or steel cut oats if you’d prefer; just cook them according to package directions (note that you may need to adjust the water).
