Baked oats are so hearty, delicious, and easy to throw together for a healthy breakfast. There are two ways you can make these oats. The first is to add all the ingredients (except the jam and peanut butter to top) into a blender, blend until smooth and then cook the entire mixture. The second is to keep everything as is and mix it together in a bowl then cook. Either way, this peanut butter and jelly baked oats is packed with protein, fiber, homemade raspberry jam, and is gluten free and vegan.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- 2 12oz Ramekins
- Small Pan
- Banana: it’s best to use a ripe banana (one that is somewhat brown)
- Rolled Oats: try to buy organic or non-GMO oats since conventional oats are typically sprayed with the chemical glyphosate, which is harmful to our health
- Hemp Seeds: this adds extra protein and fiber, but you can substitute chia seeds or flax seeds instead
- Peanut Butter: this can be swapped out for almond butter or any nut or seed butter
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Plant Based Milk: any flavor will work, my choice is usually almond or cashew milk
- Coconut Sugar: this can be left out entirely if you are trying to reduce sugar or don’t want to add in additional sweetness
- Cinnamon
- Jam: I made my own homemade raspberry jam that uses no refined sugars and is made with only a few simple ingredients!
Tips:
- Sprinkle extra seeds on top like hemp or chia seeds for added protein
- You can cut the recipe in half if you only want a single serving
- You can store it for one day in the refrigerator once cooked (just make sure to let cool and add a cover like Bee’s Wrap or foil over it) and warm it up before you want to eat it again
- Make sure to cook in oven safe dishes
