Baked oatmeal has become my breakfast staple. This peanut butter version may be my favorite! Well, carrot cake is my favorite, but this is definitely the one I make the most often…

If you don’t love mushy or soggy oatmeal, give baked oatmeal a try! With wholesome ingredients- like heart-healthy oats and maple syrup, breakfast can be sweet and delicious! Then, by adding a few ingredients, we can even create a healthy breakfast that feels like dessert! I typically prepare a big batch on Sunday. Then, breakfast is ready for the week.

BAKED OATMEAL TIPS

• There are so many possible flavor combinations! Add some chopped peanuts, pecans, almonds, cream cheese, or jelly.
• Adding a bit of oil (coconut, vegetable, or butter) provides some healthy fat. It also means there will be no sticking to paper cupcake liners.
• Both applesauce AND yogurt work well. Choose your favorite or whatever you find in the pantry/fridge. I often use a coconut milk yogurt.
• Gluten free as long as the oats are certified gluten free and you use gluten free flour. I use oat flour.
• Serve right out of the oven or make ahead and store in the fridge. Baked oatmeal will last for 4-5 days. I prefer re-heating in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
