The wet, snowy and cold weather of Old Man Winter is a perfect time to enjoy a bowl of warm oatmeal. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal will feel like a dessert and warm you up in no time. You can even *freeze* this for another time (directions included)! That makes this a great go-to breakfast for busy mornings or those mornings you just want something delicious with little effort.
Who am I kidding though – oatmeal is great anytime! It’s a comfort food, and with any good comfort food, you can enjoy it anytime.
I love changing up plain boring oatmeal, so I hope you’ll try this and let me know how it is!
