Historically, I put my morning oatmeal together via:
- 1 cup hot water into cup
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon into cup, mix
- 1/4 tsp of salt into cup, mix
- 4 packets of splenta into cup, mix
- 1/2 of hodgson mill oatmeal (“hot cereal”) into cup, mix
- a couple of tablespoons of chunky peanut butter into cup, mix
The peanut butter melts from the heat of the oatmeal, and I end up with a breakfast that’s got some chunk of peanut butter in it, but has largely melted through.
This has served me well, but today I wanted to try for something more homogenous, so:
- 1 cup hot water into cup
- a couple of tablespoons of chunky peanut butter into cup, mix until totally melted
- rest of ingredients into cup, mix
It was a more homogenous mix, as you’d expect. Since it’s chunky peanut butter, though, I still had peanuts in it.
I think I still like the less homogenous version better, but it made for an interesting change-up.
This is the excitement and wonder that is my life. Phear me.
