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
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°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 until they are evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Stir thoroughly until all the wet ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes a consistent batter.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the oat batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Dollop the jelly on top of the batter in several spots.
- Swirl in Jelly: Using a knife, gently swirl the jelly into the oatmeal batter to create a marbled effect, distributing its flavor without fully mixing it in.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set in the center and slightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into four pieces, remove from the pan, add any favorite toppings if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars or oils.
- You can substitute jelly with fresh or frozen berries for a fresher taste.
- Ensure the oatmeal is set by checking with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
- This recipe is easily adaptable for a vegan diet by ensuring the jelly and maple syrup are vegan-friendly.
