How to make Peanut butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal with Step Pictures
In a bowl add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon or other spices if using, salt, peanuts and chia seeds. Mix to combine.
In the baking dish or another bowl, mix the peanut butter with the hot non dairy milk. Add in the apple sauce and maple syrup. Add the oat mixture and mix well for a few seconds. Even it out in the baking dish.
Bake at for 30 to 35 minutes.
HOW TO STORE this Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal
Store: Store unbaked at step 4. Store baked oatmeal in a closed container in the fridge for upto 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat the refrigerated oatmeal in a microwave or in the oven for 10 mins or so to crisp up.
CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE OATS?
Yes, use equal quantity of other grain flakes such as rice flakes or quinoa flakes. Or use quick cooking grains such as quinoa or buckwheat groats. Use 2/3 cup uncooked grains.
CAN I SUBSTITUTE MAPLE SYRUP?
Yes use equal amount of coconut sugar, date sugar, or other sugar, or use other sweetener of choice.
Can I make this Nut-free?
Yes, Use sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, and coconut milk or oat milk for the non dairy milk.
Reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp, add in 1 tsp lemon juice into the wet mixture. This will reduce the chances of the baked oatmeal turning green in the middle. This can happen because of the sunbutter reacting with the baking powder, but the color is harmless and edible.

Notes
To Double: Double everything. If the mixture has too much liquid, add a few tbsp more oats. Bake in a 9 by 13 inch pan for 40 to 45 mins. Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, and coconut milk or oat milk for the non dairy milk. Reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp, add in 1 tsp lemon juice into the wet mixture. This will reduce the chances of the baked oatmeal turning green in the middle. This can happen because of the sunbutter reacting with the baking powder, but the color is harmless and edible. ** Use a stoneware dish or less browning or chewy edges, and regular brownie or cake pan for crispier chewier result Nutrition is for 1 serve

Hello,
Can I use steelcut oatmeal?
Thank you
Carol
These are one of my faves! I make them often! I make them in my square shaped muffin pan, and then freeze them! Then I just microwave one for breakfast when I want a quick breakfast! So yummy!

Hi Richa: This dish seems very delicious, but do U have any diabetic-friendly dishes???
Thnx.
Vegan Richa Support
the oatmeal recipes use maple syrup and coconut like one: Lemon & Poppy Seed Vegan Baked Oatmeal – Healthy Oatmeal is a slow release carb – so it won’t spike up your blood sugar like refined flours. Non-processed and natural foods are also really helpful with keeping the glycemic index low. Check out my many savour and sweeter recipes here on my site. Recipes

Delicious! We’ve been enjoying each of your baked oatmeals.
Cheryl
Literally just put my plate down from my first piece of this. So good! Absolutely loved it. Can see this being on regular rotation in this house 🙂
Neri
Great recipe! I was looking for a baked vegan oatmeal recipe without oil for some time. Replaced applesauce with mashed banana and it turned out great. Thanks!
Vegan Richa Support
banana – perfect!! Thank you!
Kiran
Your recipes are all five star. So precise, so damn tasty. These bars were a bomb of flavour. Didn’t even last for 24 hrs in my home. Very grateful to you for all your shares @veganricha. God bless you

Laura
Hi Richa,
Is there something we can sub for the chia seeds? Flax maybe? In quarantine, so we’re limited to what we have on hand.
Thanks!!
Richa
yes use flax seed meal
Darlene
I made this last night & after cooled, cut & covered then put in fridge for this morning for our breakfast. This was my first time ever making any baked oatmeal. There were delicious & very satisfying, will definitely make these again. I added a few chocolate chips. We had a banana & fresh red raspberries on the side. Now I’m going to print off the rest of your baked oatmeal recipes 😊
Richa
awesome
Annie Robinson
Delicious!!! I choose to use almond butter, pecans, and wild blueberry preserve.
Donna Flaim
Could I substitute powdered PB, looking to cut some calories and fat.
Richa
Yes, you can. May be add a bit more non daily milk to get the desired consistency.
Sue
Delicious!! I served it with a peanut butter whip, and a strawberry jam whip (made with coconut milk). Will be a staple from here on out.
Richa
awesome!
Bridget
This baked oatmeal is AMAZING! I’ve tried other baked oatmeal recipes with added oil and this one is the best! It’s sweet, fruity, and comforting. Very easy to make and easily customizable. I used almond butter and blueberry cherry jam instead of peanut butter or strawberry jam and it turned out amazing
Richa
yay!
Shahar
Looks great!
What role do chia seeds play in this recipe?
Richa
They keep the oats a bit together and keep them from getting too crumbly
Shahar
Thank you, Richa!
(I asked because we just ran out of chia…)
Will try this recipe once we restock!
Richa
you can make without too. It will just be slightly crumbly. But tasty any which way!
Daan Katz
This looks like a great recipe. I’m going to have to try it ASAP! Would make for a great snack too.
Cindy
I just made this. It’s great!
I’m going to make this for work on thanksgiving morning. It will be a tasty breakfast dish for my co-workers.
I think it would be very good with fresh blueberries and a tablespoon less of jelly
Richa
awesome!

Maneesha
Hi Richa! I did a variation of this recipe and included all ingredients (except baking powder) to the instant pot and made a hot PB&J oatmeal, with pressure cooker mode, 3 mins! I had made chia jam earlier in the week, so I added that instead of separate chia seeds and jam. Deeeelish! Thanks for a great breakfast recipe! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your recipes!
Cassie Thuvan Tran
Looks to die for! My co-food coordinator and I would love to make this recipe, but substitute peanut butter for tahini and some kind of seed! Our university already makes various jams, so we can just top it with that too.
Nancy Glover
I’m new to your site and recipes but wow-I’m so impressed and excited everything that drops into my inbox now. Thank you so very much for the delicious recipes.
Richa
so glad you found me!
Neha
