last night i wanted a hot peanut butter oatmeal cookie.. but that's a lot of work with the mixing of ingredients and balling and baking and cooling and then washing pans and the bowl and all that... so i had peanut butter oatmeal instead!
it's easy (or i wouldn't do it - lol!)- take plain instant oatmeal, toss in some peanut butter (i use a little so it's not too peanut buttery, but you can use more if you want :) ), put in your hot water, mix up and let it sit until the oatmeal puffs up and the peanut butter kinda melts into it... tastes just like a hot peanut butter oatmeal cookie!... even if it is little mushier :) sometimes i'll even add a little splenda if i want it sweeter, and sometimes i make it with hot soy milk instead of water!
and - there's more.. put in jelly and you have peanut butter and jelly oatmeal! with all the flavors of jelly out there, it's so versatile B-)
