Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oatmeal
Peanut butter cup baked oatmeal is breakfast in true dessert form. I mean it's really so good! The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is such a classic that never fails. Mix those two things with oats and you have a solid breakfast option! My favorite candy growing up was Reese's and still is! I live for the chocolate and peanut butter combo. So you know this flavor had to happen!

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!
