Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Stir in oats, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened and creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in cream or milk.
Spoon oatmeal into a bowl and swirl in peanut butter and jam.
Serve warm, adding an extra drizzle of milk if desired.

Use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for variation.

Swap jam for fresh berries or fruit compote.

Add chopped nuts or granola for crunch.

Stir in cocoa powder or chocolate chips for a chocolate twist.

Microwave version: cook oats in water 2–3 minutes, then stir in milk, peanut butter, and jam.
