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 (flavor of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of all dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1 1/2 cups of almond milk, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup peanut butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is well combined.
- Assemble the Batter: Pour the mixed batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Dollop 1/4 cup of jelly over the batter in various spots.
- Swirl Jelly: Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the jelly into the oatmeal batter to create a marbled effect without fully mixing it through.
- Bake the Oatmeal: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into four equal pieces, serve warm, and add any desired toppings such as fresh fruit, additional nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!

- For a nuttier texture, consider adding chopped peanuts or nuts on top before baking.
- This baked oatmeal can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup used to suit your taste.
