Kraft have the following peanut butters:

• Smooth: All natural smooth peanut butter with just 1 ingredient - peanuts

• Honey: All natural peanut butter with the addition of 1 extra ingredient - honey

These delicious all natural peanut butters can be found in the peanut butter aisle of your local grocery store here in Canada and they really do taste great, they all got the big thumbs up from the kids.

You will notice with natural peanut butter, that the the oil settles to the top, so upon opening to use, you should stir and then refrigerate.

A great tip for storing it in the fridge is to place it upside down. This helps keep the natural oil of the peanuts mixed, so that the peanut butter is ready to go next time you need to use it.

Peanut butter is a great choice for a healthy snack. It's one of my go to's for the kids when rushed for time. We will often all share some crisp sweet apple slices with a side of all natural peanut butter for dunking. Great for keeping us going until our main meal.

One of our go to main meals actually uses peanut butter too. It's this delicious Chicken Drumsticks in Peanut Sauce and is a perfect family friendly meal served with some veggies and rice. The sauce is just divine!!

My favourite out of the four Kraft All Natural Peanut Butter's is most definitely the Crunchy. There is nothing better than creamy peanut butter, with little crunchy bites of peanuts and I figured this would be the perfect choice for this delicious Peanut and Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal.

I spooned some of the oat mixture into an oven proof dish, then added some fruit spread followed by a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter and then topped with the remaining mixture before being placed in the oven to bake.

Baked Oatmeal is such a great idea, as it can be eaten at home straight out of the oven, or made in advance for a meal on the go, especially if you are any early riser for work and don't feel like eating till a bit later on.

This amazing Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal will keep you well satiated up until lunch time. It's perfect with your morning cuppa and some fresh fruit, particularly strawberries - yum!!
