PB&J Oats and a Giveaway!

January 17, 2011 by Jamie @ Food in Real Life

It’s never easy to get out of bed in the winter, but today felt especially hard.

That is until I brainstormed the idea of making peanut butter and jelly oats for breakfast.

Although I’m not a huge oatmeal fanatic, I do think they make a nice base for some delicious toppings, and they are pretty filling too.

This morning I heated up 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, and 1/2 cup of water in the microwave.

When it was done I topped it with peanut flour spread and sf raspberry jelly.

I also wanted to let you guys know how I make my peanut flour spread since I realized it’s not on the recipe tab of the blog.

Peanut Flour Spread

30 g/ or 1/4 cup peanut flour

1/4-1/3 cup of milk (regular, soy, almond, or you can use water)

1-2 splendas

dash or two of salt

splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Now, on to an exciting giveaway!

Through My Blog Spark I was invited to participate in a giveaway from Multigrain Cheerios. I’m a big fan of cheerios and love to eat them dry as a snack or on top of yogurt.

Multigrain Cheerios is partnering with The Biggest Loser and doing a Biggest Loser at Home program on their website. Once you buy a box of the cereal, you get an access code that you can use to access some tools such as a 7 day plan, motivation, and BMI calculator.

One lucky winner will receive a box of Multigrain Cheerios, a water bottle, cereal holder, and gym bag.

To enter just leave a response in the comments section telling me:

What tools would you be interested in using on the Multigran Cheerios Biggest Loser website?

A winner will be picked tomorrow night. Good luck!

I can’t eat the Cheerios (gluten intolerance) so please don’t count my comment as one of your entries!

I just had to say that it’s 80 degrees here in Los Angeles and all I can think is, wow, I wish we had a real winter. I guess the grass is always greener, right?

Stay warm! Your breakfast looks delicious!

I would use the BMU calculator tab, recipes, and motivation… cause I always need a little motivation in my life.

I’ve never heard of peanut flour! Where can I find it?

I love making the same exact peanut flour spread. Sometimes I add pumpkin too to make it a bit festive.

I would love to see the recipes that they use with cheerios. I have never tried to make anything with cheerios.
