What Are Peanut Butter Baked Oats?
These peanut butter baked oats are a delicious treat made from blended rolled oats, powdered peanut butter, and other simple ingredients such as almond milk and an egg. These baked oats have an incredible peanut butter flavor and a fluffy texture. It is the ultimate single-serve recipe.
Ingredients Needed
- Oats: Thoroughly blend rolled oats or quick oats into oat flour. Or, just use oat flour.
- Powdered Peanut Butter: Use PB2 of PBfit powdered peanut butter to add peanut butter flavor to this baked oats recipe.
- Baking Powder: Is added so the baked oats rise in the oven.
- Salt: Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- Sweetener: Sweeten these baked oats with sugar or a 1:1 sugar-free sweetener. Don’t use a liquid sweetener. It will thin out the batter too much.
- Vanilla: A splash of vanilla extract adds flavor.
- Milk: We used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use your milk of choice.
- Egg: Pulse one egg into the batter.
- Chocolate Chips: As an option, fold mini chocolate chips into the baked oats batter or sprinkle them on top before baking.
Substitutions & Variations
- Add Chocolate: You can add more mini chocolate chips if you prefer for more chocolate flavor or omit them altogether. If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, roughly chop regular-sized chocolate chips. Or, roughly chop some of a chocolate bar into chunks. You can even use sugar-free chocolate chips or peanut butter chips instead.
- Add More Peanut Butter Flavor: To add more peanut butter flavor, once done, drizzle the baked oats with peanut butter or PB2 mixed with water.
- Peanut Butter and Jelly Flavor: For a flavor reminiscent of peanut butter and jelly, add some of our strawberry chia jam, blueberry jam, or your favorite jam or jelly on top once done.
- Dairy-Free: To make these baked oats dairy-free, use your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk or oat milk, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Gluten-Free: These baked oats are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.

Can i just use oat flour instead of pulsing quaker oats! Thank you
Hi, thank you for your question. Absolutely! You can just use oat flour for this baked oats recipe. Either will work perfectly!
I misread the recipe at first, and I thought it said it made 4 servings. I commented, and now I’m trying to amend my mistake from before. disregard my first comment.
I am accustomed to doubling and tripling recipes often. My original comment had to do with that.
Hi, I’m sorry for the confusion. This baked oats recipe serves one. You can always make more servings as needed. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reaching out!
I made this for breakfast this morning, and I was blown away with how good it was! Thanks for this awesome recipe.
Hi Kristen, that’s so amazing to hear! We are so happy that you loved these peanut butter baked oats! Thank you so much for leaving a review and for letting us know you enjoyed them.
Hi! Do you think this would work with quick steel cut oats?
Hi Anne, unfortunately, steel cut oats won’t work for peanut butter baked oats because they’re much harder and denser than rolled or quick oats, and they take significantly longer to cook. Even when blended, steel-cut oats don’t break down into fine, smooth flour and can leave your baked oats with a gritty, undercooked texture. Instead, use rolled oats or quick oats and blend them into oat flour, or simply use store-bought oat flour, those options will give you that soft, cake-like consistency. I hope this helps!
Thank you Shawna. Off to the store!!
