You’re going to want to dive into a bowl of this Peanut Butter Oatmeal recipe today, because:
- Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but they have the biggest proportion of soluble fiber than any other grain. This soluble fiber (beta-glucan) helps to lower bad LDL cholesterol, reducing your risk of heart disease and keeping your blood and heart healthy.
- Of their high fiber content, oats bulk up your stool and help you become more regular. This means less straining and smoother bowels in the morning.
- Oats are high in the amino acid tryptophan. This amino acid is needed to make serotonin, the “happy hormone”, so having a bowl of oats in the morning will have you cheering throughout the day.
If you are in need of some breakfast inspiration, it’s definitely time to cozy up with this peanut butter oatmeal recipe.
And if you want to add a little pep to your morning bowl, as well as nutrients, we love to top our bowl with Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seeds and fresh fruit. Here are some great topper options:
Frozen wild blueberries, frozen raspberries, hemp seeds, hemp heart toppers, chopped dates, chopped nuts/ seeds, cacao powder, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, cinnamon, apple and unsweetened dried fruits.

I have never tried peanut butter oats, but I would really want to give it a try since I really love peanut butter as well as oats. I could also put in a little bit of chocolate into it since I love peanut butter and chocolate combo so much.
The chocolate addition sounds perfect!! We also have this recipe for ‘Hot Chocolate Oatmeal’ https://naughtynutrition.co/recipes/healthy-chocolate-oatmeal/
