Valentine’s Day is coming soon, and Joe is going to have some stiff competition.
If you’re a regular reader you probably know that I don’t go crazy for oatmeal. It shows up sometimes in a random breakfast, but usually I wish I made something else.
Oatbran is different though- the pieces are smaller and when you cook it in almond milk, it melts down and gets really creamy.
I also find it to be more filling. The high fiber (6 grams) and protein content (7 grams) could be responsible for that.
I’ve been making mine as follows:
- 1/3 cup dry oatbran
- 1 cup almond breeze
Put both ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium until it bubbles. Turn to low and cook another 5 min. (There were no instructions on the bag, so I just tried this)
And here’s the kicker. I’ve been serving mine in a pool of peanut flour spread with jam on top.
Yep, that’s right, I make the peanut flour spread first, in the bowl (and add a little extra almond milk or water to thin it out). Then when the oatbran is done, I put it on top.
FYI, I think I might need to refer to this technique as the PFM. (Peanut Flour Moat).
If this doesn’t make you a morning person, I don’t know what will.
Have you tried oatbran before?
What have you been making for breakfast lately?
I have never tried oat bran but that looks delicious!! It sounds so easy to prepare!! I will definitely look for this at the store!
i loooove oat bran. but i do still like my oatmeal too.
I have been making pancakes and waffles. I love oatmeal but I seriously cannot get out of my pancake rut. AH.
I love oat bran too! I like to do half rolled oats and half oatmeal, it has a great texture! Lately, I’ve been into eggs on toast, so easy and filling!
i love oat bran! i usually do 1/4 oat bran and 1/4 oats.. BEST COMBO… and I LOVE your pool of peanut flour and jam!
Oat Bran…never tried it. It will have to go on the grocery list!
That looks delicious! I love how you refer to it as the moat. I’m not an oatmeal person either, but perhaps I will have to give oat bran a try. Lately I’ve been digging plain greek yogurt with banana, raisins, and cranberry apple butter mixed in.
Sounds good, love me some raisins. Is the cranberry apple butter from Trader Joes? Or do you make it?
That looks so good!! Like PB and J Oats! YUM!
