I love experimenting with different add-ins for baked oatmeal. Much like my Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal, the combination of different spices, fruit, and nuts are endless.

To really round out the “cookie” experience in these oats, I top them with a peanut butter “frosting” and fresh berries. Alternatively, you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt, banana slices, and/or drizzle of maple syrup.

Either way, these baked oats for one really lend the “dessert for breakfast” experience. Which is how I wish to start every day!

How to Make Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal

This is the kind of recipe that you’ll fall asleep feeling excited about eating the next day.

For sweetness, I addjust a touch of maple syrup to the batter. As the recipe is written, this baked oatmeal recipe isn’t super sweet, which is just how I like it.If you’d like your oats sweeter, you can add a bit more maple syrup to the recipe or simply drizzle some on at the end.

The Ingredients

• Oats: An excellent source ofwhole grains and fiber,oats make for a satisfying, satiating breakfast. I do not suggest using quick oats or steel-cut oats for this recipe.
• Egg: Not only does the egg add protein, but it also acts as the binder for these oats. If making the recipe vegan, you can use a flax egg instead.
• Peanut Butter: Look for a natural creamy peanut butter that only contains peanuts + salt.
• Milk: Use any milk you prefer in this recipe. I prefer anunsweetened plant milk, such as cashew or almond. However, 2% or whole cows milk also works great.
• Maple Syrup: A little maple syrup goes into both the batter and the frosting. If you prefer your oats sweeter, feel free to drizzle a little extra over the oats once they’re baked.
• Vanilla: For the real peanut butter cookie experience, vanilla extract is a must.
• Optional Add-Ins: Add extra protein to this peanut butter baked oatmeal by adding 1 to 2 Tbsp. of collagen powder or your protein powder. You can also add powdered peanut butter for extra PB flavor.

The Directions

Step 1. Blend Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a blender or nutribullet, combine oats, milk, egg, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse a few times until ingredients are combined, but there are still some chunks of oats. (The batter should not be totally smooth.)

Step 2: Bake Oats

Pour batter into a greased 6-oz. ramekin or large mug. Carefully place in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and center is slightly giggly. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Top with Peanut Butter Frosting

Meanwhile, combine 1 Tbsp. peanut butter, 2 tsp. milk, and 1 tsp. maple syrup in a small bowl; mix until smooth. Gently spoon frosting over baked oats, and garnish with fresh berries or banana slices.

Are Baked Oats Good for You?

Thanks to fiber-filled whole-grain oats, protein-rich eggs (which act as a binder), and healthy fats from nut butter, baked oatmeal is ultra filling and nutritious.

To make baked oatmeal even more satiating, add a scoop of collagen peptides or your favorite protein powder.

How Long Does Baked Oatmeal Keep?

Baked oatmeal will last up to 3 days refrigerated. To reheat, simply nook it in the microwave and add your toppings of choice. You can also enjoy baked oatmeal chilled.
