Who knew you could enjoy a PB&J for breakfast? Oh, wait. I did! This Baked PB&J Oatmeal is loosely based on a few of my other baked breakfast oatmeals but in PB&J form. Yep! There’s peanuts, peanut butter, and even jelly baked right into this oatmeal. Plus, I made it dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian.
This Baked PB&J Oatmeal can be made in advance and reheats really well, meaning that it’s perfect for meal prepping and having on hand through the whole week. And, if you aren’t a fan or are allergic to nuts, you can always swap out the peanut butter for any nut free alternative. That’s right, even those with sensitivities can enjoy this with the right alterations.
I’ve had a lot of oatmeal in the past; baked, overnight, crock pot, instant pot, you name it - I’ve probably tried it. This Baked PB&J Oatmeal though? It takes the cake. It has to be one of my favorites so far. There’s just something about the sweet and salty aspect of PB&J that speaks to me.
I enjoy mine with some unsweetened almond milk and a bowl full of fresh berries, but it’s just as good completely on it’s own.
