I think breakfast is a far superior meal, and love to make a good one every day. But I also need it to be filling and stick with me for the day. Loaded oats are the way to go for an easy and filling breakfast, and these chocolate peanut butter loaded oats are at the top of my list.
Stovetop oats are endlessly versatile. You can put literally anything you have on hand in them and create something fabulous each time. Nuts, berries, frozen fruits, nut butter, protein powders, chocolate chips, or jam. The combinations never end. But I think above all else, the chocolate peanut butter combo is perfect over and over again.
I add protein powder to my oats, and really love using Orgain. I don’t love whey and am not at all a fan of the taste, but found this plant protein at Costco and have been hooked ever since. For this recipe, I use the chocolate peanut butter cup kind, but I keep the vanilla on hand always. Also, the Kirkland mixed nut butter, don’t walk but RUN to get yourself some.
