Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal #BrunchWeek

This is my last post for Brunch Week, and I'm ending it with a bang! I took a classic sandwich and spun it into a fun new brunch food: Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal! Yesterday I mentioned how I haven't baked wit peanut butter in a while, and then I go and post two PB recipes in a row. Ha. Guess once you start, you can't stop! Oatmeal is such an easy go-to breakfast, and so versatile! My favorite way to eat it is with lots and lots of cinnamon, sliced banana and golden raisins. Sometimes I'll switch it up and add fresh berries instead of bananas and raisins, but still lots of cinnamon! I could never eat a bowl of plain oatmeal. That is just way too boring. When I received a box full of goodies from one of our Brunch Week sponsors, Bob's Red Mill, I was so excited to see a bag of their rolled oats. I knew I'd have to make one stellar oatmeal dish for Brunch Week.
Baked oatmeal is a great way to change up this traditional breakfast food. The edges crisp up and the oats get that toasted flavor. Baked oatmeal is much heartier than a bowl you simply heat up in the microwave. The other ingredients mixed in with the oats elevate it to a rich, creamy texture that sometimes seems too decadent for breakfast. But this is brunch, and if you remember what I said on Wednesday — brunch is the meal where anything goes!




Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal

1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp sweetener of choice
1/2 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup frozen berries, thawed (I used a mix of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries)
Extra frozen berries to place on top, thawed
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Pour into a small baking dish such as a ramekin and top with extra berries. Bake for 20 minutes or until oatmeal is firm. Change oven setting to broil and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.
