Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oats cook evenly and thoroughly.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of almond milk and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Make sure the peanut butter is well incorporated into the almond milk for a smooth consistency.
- Pour the wet ingredients (almond milk and peanut butter mixture) into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and you have a uniform mixture.
- Grease a baking dish or oven-safe ramekins with a little bit of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. You can use a small dish that holds about 2 cups of batter for this recipe.
- Transfer the oat mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If you like, you can sprinkle some chocolate chips on top for added sweetness and a chocolatey flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the oats are set and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This will help the baked oats firm up a bit more.
- Serve your Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oats warm, optionally drizzling with extra maple syrup or topping with additional chocolate chips or sliced bananas for added flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oats!
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste. You can also try adding a mashed banana for natural sweetness.
- Choose the Right Dish: A small baking dish or individual ramekins work great for this recipe. Just make sure they can hold about 2 cups of batter to ensure even cooking.
- Mix It Up: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite mix-ins! Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a scoop of protein powder can enhance the flavor and nutrition of your baked oats.
- Check for Doneness: Baking times may vary depending on your oven and the dish you use. Keep an eye on your oats towards the end of the baking time; they should be set and slightly golden on top.
- Serve with Style: For an extra special touch, top your baked oats with a dollop of yogurt, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving. This will not only enhance the flavor but also make your dish Instagram-worthy!
