    At my house, the boys literally BEG for this healthy baked oatmeal with peanut butter! They feel like it’s dessert for breakfast because they can pile on toppings like a sundae! I like that the texture can be adapted to your taste. One of my sons likes a creamy oatmeal consistency so he adds some warm milk to it and then adds his toppings. My son that is vegetarian hates milk or anything creamy so he likes just eating the baked oatmeal as is and then adds his toppings!

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients on table to make baked oatmeal.
    • Quick Cooking Oats - be sure the package says quick oats and not old fashioned rolled oats.
    • Natural Smooth Peanut Butter - with no added sugar. This way you are just getting the pure peanut butter with no processed ingredients.
    • Milk of choice (I use 2% milk but I have also used almond milk so non-dairy milks will work too!)
    • Coconut Sugar (or your sugar of choice).
    • Pure Maple Syrup- not imitation pancake syrup made with high fructose corn syrup.
    • Unsalted Grass-fed Butter (you may also substitute coconut oil).
    • Eggs (You can also use a flax egg if you prefer).
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Baking Powder

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is baked oatmeal healthy?

    Baked oats prepared like this recipe are very healthy! They are packed with protein and nutrients and healthy fats and you have the option of adding other healthy boosters like nuts, seeds, and fruits!

    What happens when you bake oats?

    This oatmeal is prepared differently than traditional oatmeal. Instead of boiling the oats you mix all the ingredients and bake it. This results in an almost a cake-like texture. Once baked you can either eat it like traditional oatmeal by mixing it with your warm milk of choice or you can allow it to cool completely and cut it into squares for individual servings. They make a great protein snack for kids too!

    Is baked oats good for weight loss?

    Yes! As part of a healthy diet, baked oats can be excellent for helping with weight loss. Baked oats are satiating and full of fiber. Fiber helps to regulate blood sugar and keep cravings and hunger at bay.

    Expert Tips

    Our favorite way to serve this oatmeal is family-style with lots of healthy toppings like:

    • Warm Peanut Butter (for drizzling)
    • Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
    • Toasted Coconut
    • Nuts
    • Strawberries
    • Blueberries
    • Bananas
    • Warm Milk
    • This baked oatmeal is devoured at my house so I rarely have leftovers. If you have leftovers you can store them in the refridgerator for 2-3 days or cut into squares wrap them in plastic and wrap and then store them in your freezer flat in a freezer safe zip top bag for about a month.
