- In the morning, stir the oats gently. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Enjoy cold or warm for 30-45 seconds in the microwave.
Notes
Whisk peanut butter with milk first to avoid clumps. Use rolled oats for best texture. Refrigerate 6-8 hours for ideal consistency. Add chocolate chips just before serving to keep texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge; add milk before eating if thickened.
