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 (any flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: 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 the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well blended to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until all the wet ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
- Assemble and Swirl Jelly: Pour the oatmeal batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon dollops of jelly on top of the batter and use a knife to gently swirl the jelly through the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the baked oatmeal is set in the center and edges are golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into four pieces, serve warm, and add any desired toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or additional nut butter.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk for any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- Choose your favorite jelly flavor; raspberry or grape work well.
- For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheated before serving.
- Optional toppings include sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
