Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal
This peanut butter baked oatmeal is a healthy, fiber-packed breakfast made in one bowl. No eggs or banana—just simple, delicious flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup natural peanut butter, make sure it's fresh and runny
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅓ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus 1-2 tablespoons extra for the top
- 1 ¾ cups milk, I use 2% cow's milk
Equipment
- 9x9 inch baking pan
Instructions
- Position oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 350 F. Line the baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- To a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Pour into prepared pan. Flatten and/or spread to the edges with a spatula if needed. Sprinkle with additional 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips.
- Bake for 28-35 minutes or until golden brown and set. It won't jiggle in the pan when it's ready. Rest for at least 15-minutes before removing from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Peanut butter: Look for peanut butter with just "peanuts" on the ingredients list. You can substitute with almond butter or any nut or seed butter you like.
- Rolled oats: You can use quick oats if desired, but the texture isn't as good. Don't use steel cut oats.
- Chocolate chips: I like mini chocolate chips because they distribute better throughout the baked oatmeal, but you can use regular in a pinch. Use low/no sugar chocolate chips if preferred.
- Milk: I have not tested this recipe with non-dairy milk, but it should be a fine substitute as long as it's unsweetened.
- Let it rest: If you try to slice your baked oatmeal right out of the oven, it will fall apart. Let it cool at least 15-minutes to firm up, if possible.
