I’ve been on an oat kick lately. Every time I see a recipe with oats, I have to investigate! This is no exception. Actually, this recipe came from a good friend via my inbox. She told me to try it months ago, more like a year ago, and it’s been sitting in my inbox ever since. Luckily, with my renewed love of oats combined with cleaning out my inbox, I was able to find this little gem. It’s wonderful! Even the hubs likes it!
Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick cooking oats (I used old-fashioned oats)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
I mixed all the wet ingredients first; brown sugar, milk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Then added the dry ingredients. After everything was mixed, I added in the peanut butter. Stir well.
Spread mixture into a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350º for 20-25 minutes.
If you like it a little crunchy on top, cook for a few minutes longer. Serve with milk poured over top; dairy, soy or almond tastes great, or alone! I think this would be great with some dried fruit too. Yum. Enjoy!!

Sounds yummy. I just wrote this in my recipe file. Going to try it maybe tomorrow!
It is wonderful, and keeps all week! I divide it into 15 pieces and have one each morning… and sometimes an after dinner snack! I’m sure it would be delightful with yogurt too!
I’ve actually never had baked oatmeal before, but this sounds absolutely delicious! I’m basically obsessed with anything containing peanut butter, so I’ll definitely be giving this a go! If you’re interested, I just posted a recipe for carrot cake oatmeal, I’d love it if you checked it out! Thanks for sharing!
It is!! Do try! I checked out your carrot cake oatmeal and it is definitely next in line!! :) Thank you, happy blogging and… happier oatmeal-ing, Ha! ;)
