Creamy Peanut Butter Porridge

This is so simple and so delicious. I was trying to think of a healthy way to add protein to my morning oatmeal - and this hit me!

2 c. hot water
1 c. oats
1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
2 T. Sucanat
Banana, blueberries, strawberries or other fruit as desired
Almond or soy milk, if desired

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add oats, reduce heat to medium, and stir occasionally until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes (depending on how chewy you like your oats). Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and Sucanat. Stir thoroughly to combine. Cereal will be thick and creamy. Top with bananas and almond milk, if using. Serve immediately.

Makes about 2 servings, but you can see how easy it would be to double or triple the recipe to serve more.
