As an adult I never liked oatmeal. The reason I never liked oats was because of the texture and they were really never satisfying to me. These baked oats are just like eating dessert for breakfast. When the oats come out of the oven it almost looked like a chocolate chip cookie. After trying baked oats this way I could eat them every day for breakfast now!
This baked oatmeal is best served warm. The chocolate chips get a little melted in the oven and melted peanut butter is so good drizzled on the top! There are many different ways you can make these baked oats but the base is very similar to an overnight oats recipe. I chose to use a recipe that didn’t call for bananas and no eggs.
How to Make Baked Oats
For the full recipe, please see the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Pour the batter into a greased muffin tin or 8 oz round ramekin.
Please Note: I used a jumbo muffin pan. If you don't have a jumbo muffin pan divide the batter into 2 muffin holes.
Blender: For a smoother batter puree the oatmeal mixture without the chocolate chips in a blender until smooth. Pour the batter into a muffin tin or 8 oz round ramekin. Then top with chocolate chips.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Best served warmed.
Ingredients for Baked Oats
- Oats - I used rolled oats but any type of oatmeal will work for this.
- Milk - Have a nut allergy use any milk substitute that works for you!
- Maple Syrup - This is for sweetness. I have not tried this using other sugar substitutes.
- PB2 - PB2 helps to keep the WW points lower but if you love regular peanut butter that works as well. If you are allergic to peanut butter use other nut butters that work for you.
- Chocolate Chips - Sub sugar-free chocolate chips, raisins, blueberries, or whatever you like. Peanut butter and chocolate are just a great combo that works well together.
- Baking powder - helps the batter rise

I have made this recipe twice. My kids love it and my youngest is picky. I double the recipe because it's just too good and add cinnamon! (I love cinnamon on everything even on my coffee) lol

Yep you can!

I was wondering if you could substitute the PB2 powder with regular peanut butter?

Jenna says
I would try the original recipe first and adjust to your needs after because I have not tried it with 2 eggs. If you are looking to add more protein I would try protein powder, greek yogurt, or chia seeds. Some chicken sausage links would be good as a side.

Hi, This looks amazing! so excited to try it. Heres a question, I am looking to boost the protein up for my daughter. Can you add an egg without compromising the recipe?
Jenna says
Thanks for commenting Charlie!
Charlie says
I always use recipes online and have never made a comment. BUT THESE ARE AMAZING. I blitzed mine as I’m not a big fan of oatmeal in general. You have converted me!
If you’re reading this - MAKE THIS RECIPE!

This recipe is simple, and satisfying. I omitted the chocolate chips (on clean diet right now) added a teaspoon of vanilla extract. It was DELICIOUS! Texture almost like banana bread without the banana, which is what I was looking for. Even without the chocolate chips, just enough sweetness to satisfy this sweet tooth's taste!!

Do the oats and milk measurements have to be the same as each other?
