I have another oatmeal recipe for you. It’s basically the combination of several of my favorite oatmeal recipes. I woke up Monday morning craving peanut butter, but I needed to use up half an apple I had in the fridge, so I just kind of threw it all together.

As you all know, Banana PB&J Oatmeal is one of my absolute favorites. However, I am constantly bombarded with messages from people who A) hate bananas, or B) are allergic. 🙁 This recipe is a wonderful substitute.
