Description

This Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal is a warm, wholesome breakfast that's both comforting and nutritious. Made with rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and sweetened with maple syrup, it's an easy one-bowl recipe baked to perfection. Ideal for a cozy morning, it offers a soft, slightly chewy texture with the option to top with chopped peanuts and dark chocolate for added flavor and crunch.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Dark chocolate (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and creamy peanut butter until smooth and well blended. Then add the egg and whisk again to incorporate. Follow by adding almond milk and vanilla extract, continuing to whisk until fully combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain the right texture.
  5. Bake the oatmeal: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. The oatmeal is ready when the center is soft but no longer jiggles when the dish is gently shaken using oven mitts.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately as is or topped with chopped peanuts and dark chocolate for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey for natural sweetness.
  • Use any nut or dairy milk to suit your preference if almond milk is unavailable.
  • The peanut butter can be crunchy or creamy based on your texture preference.
  • Storing: Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
  • Feel free to add fresh berries or sliced bananas on top for additional flavor and nutrition.
