Ingredients
½cuprolled oats
1cupwater
1cupsliced strawberries
½tbspmaple syrup
2tspchia seeds
2tbspnatural 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).
