Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Topping
- 1/4 cup jelly (any flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent the oatmeal from sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peanut butter to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until all wet ingredients are fully incorporated into the oats, creating a consistent batter.
- Assemble in the baking dish: Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, dollop the jelly on top of the batter.
- Swirl the jelly: Using a knife, gently swirl the jelly into the surface of the batter to create a marbled effect without mixing it completely.
- Bake the oatmeal: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set in the middle and firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, cut it into four portions, serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any type of jelly or jam based on your flavor preference.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Adding fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries as a topping can enhance the flavor and nutrition.
- This baked oatmeal can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free dish.
