- Make sure to bring the water to a boil before you add the oats, this keeps the oats from absorbing too much water.
- Be sure to let the oatmeal rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Play around with texture by adding your favorite nuts or seeds – this oatmeal bowl is super versatile!
- If you don’t want to use peanut butter, you can swap it for almond butter or cashew butter.
- Use honey, coconut sugar, or agave if you don't have maple syrup.
