In a small pot, combine the milk and oats. Heat to boiling, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until oats reach desired level of tenderness.
Turn off the heat. Add the peanut butter and a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
Pour into a bowl, then drizzle additional peanut butter over the top if desired.
Top with a spoonful of raspberry jam. Swirl into the oatmeal if desired.
Top with fresh raspberries and enjoy.

Heating the oats and almond milk to boiling and then simmering over a low heat is the trick to getting the oats perfectly cooked. If you cook over too high of a heat, the milk will cook out and the oats won't be tender enough.
I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk for this. I recommend using an unsweetened milk, otherwise it may be too sweet with the jelly.
You can easily swap out a different flavor of jam or jelly.
If you don't have fresh fruit for topping the oatmeal, you can always use frozen!
To drizzle the peanut butter on top, you can heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave. That makes it easier to drizzle! Or you can just add a small dollop or leave it off completely. There's enough peanut butter flavor in the oatmeal!
