Clean Eating Chocolate PB Oats - My new addiction!

My new most favourite breakfast addiction is Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal!  OH my goodness!  I seriously go to bed earlier some nights just because I want morning to come sooner so I can have them again!!  Tastes like it should be SO bad for you, but they are actually SO good for you!  And very simple to make! 

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL


chocolate peanut butter oatmeal clean eating recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup quick cooking oats (you can use steel cut that would be your healthiest option, but I like fast and simple so I use quick oats)
  • 1 heaping teaspoon stevia
  • 1 heaping teaspoon pure organic cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural peanut butter
Directions
  1. Place oats in a microwave safe bowl and cover with water.  You want more water than oats because they will cook and absorb it all.
  2. Place in microwave for 90 seconds or until all the water is absorbed and oats are soft 
  3. Add stevia, cacao powder & peanut butter and mix well
  4. ENJOY!
