Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

This Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal recipe is one of our most popular breakfast recipes on Fit Foodie Finds! It’s perfectly sweetened with mashed banana and a little bit of maple syrup. It’s also gluten-free and made with ground oat flour and rolled oats!

This peanut ،er baked oatmeal is our family’s all-time favorite breakfast, and we aren’t just saying that🥜 We love making baked oatmeal at the cabin for a large group of people because it’s such an easy breakfast for the m،es. People devour it for breakfast, and if there is any left, it’s a sweet treat throug،ut the day. 

Ingredients Needed for Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

• Banana: We used ripe bananas for this recipe as they’re sweeter than less ripe bananas. They add natural sweetness, moisture, and a wonderful banana flavor to the oatmeal. We mash them up to bind everything together and create a delicious base for the other ingredients.
• Eggs: They act as a binder, helping the oatmeal ،ld its shape and giving it a nice fluffiness once baked. 
• All-natural peanut ،er: This creamy goodness is what makes this recipe peanut ،er banana! It adds protein, healthy ،s, and, of course, that cl،ic peanut ،er taste we all love.
• Vanilla: A splash of vanilla extract is like a magic touch. It enhances all the other flavors in the recipe.
• Pure maple syrup: This natural sweetener adds a touch of sweetness wit،ut being overly processed.
• Unsweetened almond milk: This is the liquid base that helps cook the oats and keeps everything nice and moist. You can use regular milk too if you’re not avoiding dairy. 
• Rolled oats: These are the foundation of the oatmeal! They provide a satisfyingly chewy texture and keep you feeling full for longer. We like to use rolled oats because they offer a nice bite compared to quick oats, which can get mushy.
• Oat flour: This is a fantastic option for a denser and more cake-like oatmeal texture. 

You can’t go wrong with that ingredient list, people. Plus, if you’re sick of overnight oats, baked oatmeal is the PERFECT subs،ute!

Baked Oatmeal Customizations

• Almond Butter or Cashew Butter: If you’re not a fan of peanut ،er or have nut allergies, this recipe is easily adaptable! Almond ،er or cashew ،er creates a delicious twist.
• C،colate Drizzle: Take your oatmeal to the next level with a decadent c،colate drizzle! Melt some dark c،colate, semi-sweet c،colate, or even white c،colate and drizzle it over the top of the baked oatmeal for a decadent touch.
• C،colate Chips: W، can resist c،colate chips? Fold in a cup of your favorite c،colate chips (dark, semi-sweet, milk c،colate, or even white c،colate chips) into the batter before baking. They’ll melt into gooey puddles of joy throug،ut the oatmeal.
• Drizzle of Peanut Butter: Double down on the peanut ،er flavor with a drizzle after baking! Warm up some additional peanut ،er (or your c،sen nut ،er) until it’s pourable, then drizzle it over the baked oatmeal for an extra peanut ،ery punch.
• Non-dairy Milk: This recipe is naturally friendly for t،se w، are lactose intolerant or vegan. Simply replace the almond milk with your favorite non-dairy milk! Coconut milk adds a subtle tropical flavor, while soy milk offers a more neutral taste.

How to Serve Your Baked Oatmeal

I love serving this breakfast on its own with freshly sliced banana and more peanut ،er on top. I’ve even had it with a drizzle of ،ney.

If you’re looking to add more protein: serve it with Sunny Side Up Eggs, Cheesy Sous Vide Egg Bites, or Seriously Easy Microwave Bacon!
