PB&J Baked Oatmeal
If I'm being honest, I could probably live off peanut butter and jelly. It was one of my absolute favorites as a kid, and it's just so comforting always. This is my number one viewed baked oatmeal so it seems like there are some other PB&J lovers out there too! It basically tastes like PB&J but in oatmeal form so it's kind of like the grown up adult version. It's a winner & I hope you love it!
Servings: 4
Equipment
- 8x8 baking pan
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/4-1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients (except jam). Add in the dry ingredients. Mix everything well.
- If using jam, wait to add it at the end. If using berries, mix them in after both wet and dry are mixed together. You can use fresh or frozen berries.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. If using jam, add globs on top and spread across the top using a knife.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 min. Make sure to check it around 25 min depending on what size pan you use! You want the center of the oatmeal soft but set.
- Let cool completely, slice, and enjoy! It makes about 4-6 servings depending on your hunger!
- In the morning, you can either warm it up or eat it cold from the fridge. I love to serve mine with yogurt (for protein), more peanut butter, and some fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
For storing: Once cooled completely, store in the fridge for up to a week. It’s easier to cut into slices once it’s been refrigerated.
For freezing: Individually wrap slices in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and heat or eat cold in the morning!
