You couldn't ask for an easier breakfast. My total cooking time was 2 minutes. After tasting it with 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter mixed in, I decided that it only needed 1 teaspoon of sugar for the perfect amount of sweetness. I tried this oatmeal with both creamy peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter. I preferred the crunchy because the overall texture was a bit more interesting. I approve this recipe. It was as tasty as it was quick. (This recipe was submitted in September 2014. It was tested and photographed in October 2014.)





How To Make Microwave Peanut Butter Oatmeal

Put oats, salt, and water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 to 2 minutes (depending on your microwave speed. Remove, and mix in sugar and peanut butter.

Microwave for additional 30-second intervals, if necessary, until thickened to taste.





Note From Recipe Submitter:

This recipe has been a breakfast staple of ours for years! I recommend slightly rounding your teaspoons of sugar; if you flatten them, the oatmeal may come out a tad salty. I never measure my peanut butter, but err on the side of too much. Otherwise, the peanut butter flavor will be lacking.

This oatmeal makes for a "stick to your ribs" kind of breakfast too.


Classic peanut butter oatmeal taste from the microwave. Only takes a couple minutes to prepare.
