Notes
- Milk - Anything from skim to whole milk will work.
- Peanut butter - Not natural peanut butter. Regular creamy peanut butter works well in this recipe.
- Old-fashioned oats - You can substitute quick-cooking oats if you prefer.
- What is a rolling boil? It's where the liquid is boiling rapidly with lots of bubbles.
