the most decadent chocolate peanut butter oatmeal you've ever had under 300 calories





 I could eat this oatmeal every morning for the rest of my life and be just fine with that.  It's so satisfying!  Warm, sweet, and filling.  My favorite kind of breakfast.  This recipe makes two servings, but it can be cut in half, added to, or if you're making it for just yourself, you can refrigerate half of it for later.


In a medium sized pot on medium heat, add in 1 3/4 cups water, a cup of old fashioned oats, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon each of cocoa powder, PB2 (peanut butter powder), and sugar.


 Stir occasionally until fairly thick, and oats are soft.  Remove from heat and stir in the milk.  Top with banana slices.  The whole process takes less than 10 minutes!  Perfect for busy weekday mornings.


Jack is my little chocolate fiend and he always inhales this oatmeal!  If I make a batch for just the two of us on mornings when Jeff and Liam are out of the house, he eats his half, and then moves on to eat part of mine too!

This is my favorite guilt free way to eat chocolate in the morning.  What's yours?
