HOW TO STORE this Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal

Store: Store unbaked at step 4. Store baked oatmeal in a closed container in the fridge for upto 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat the refrigerated oatmeal in a microwave or in the oven for 10 mins or so to crisp up.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE OATS?

Yes, use equal quantity of other grain flakes such as rice flakes or quinoa flakes. Or use quick cooking grains such as quinoa or buckwheat groats. Use 2/3 cup uncooked grains.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE MAPLE SYRUP?

Yes use equal amount of coconut sugar, date sugar, or other sugar, or use other sweetener of choice.

Can I make this Nut-free?

Yes, Use sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, and coconut milk or oat milk for the non dairy milk.

Reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp, add in 1 tsp lemon juice into the wet mixture. This will reduce the chances of the baked oatmeal turning green in the middle. This can happen because of the sunbutter reacting with the baking powder, but the color is harmless and edible.

Notes

To substitute Oats: Use other grain flakes such as quinoa or rice
To Double: Double everything. If the mixture has too much liquid, add a few tbsp more oats. Bake in a 9 by 13 inch pan for 40 to 45 mins.
Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, and coconut milk or oat milk for the non dairy milk.
Reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp, add in 1 tsp lemon juice into the wet mixture. This will reduce the chances of the baked oatmeal turning green in the middle. This can happen because of the sunbutter reacting with the baking powder, but the color is harmless and edible.

    This baked oatmeal is AMAZING! I’ve tried other baked oatmeal recipes with added oil and this one is the best! It’s sweet, fruity, and comforting. Very easy to make and easily customizable. I used almond butter and blueberry cherry jam instead of peanut butter or strawberry jam and it turned out amazing

    1. Richa says:

      yay!

  2. Shahar says:

    Looks great!
    What role do chia seeds play in this recipe?

    1. Richa says:

      They keep the oats a bit together and keep them from getting too crumbly

      1. Shahar says:

        Thank you, Richa!
        (I asked because we just ran out of chia…)
        Will try this recipe once we restock!

        1. Richa says:

          you can make without too. It will just be slightly crumbly. But tasty any which way!

  3. Daan Katz says:

    This looks like a great recipe. I’m going to have to try it ASAP! Would make for a great snack too.

    I just made this. It’s great!
    I’m going to make this for work on thanksgiving morning. It will be a tasty breakfast dish for my co-workers.
    I think it would be very good with fresh blueberries and a tablespoon less of jelly

    1. Richa says:

      awesome!

    Hi Richa! I did a variation of this recipe and included all ingredients (except baking powder) to the instant pot and made a hot PB&J oatmeal, with pressure cooker mode, 3 mins! I had made chia jam earlier in the week, so I added that instead of separate chia seeds and jam. Deeeelish! Thanks for a great breakfast recipe! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your recipes!

  6. Cassie Thuvan Tran says:

    Looks to die for! My co-food coordinator and I would love to make this recipe, but substitute peanut butter for tahini and some kind of seed! Our university already makes various jams, so we can just top it with that too.
