Peanut Butter Brownie Baked Oatmeal
Peanut Butter Brownie Baked Oatmeal combines ripe mashed bananas, natural peanut butter, cocoa powder, and rolled oats to create a warm, chocolatey breakfast casserole. Baked with a swirl of extra peanut butter on top, it offers a moist texture with a balance of sweetness and nutty taste, enhanced by cinnamon and vanilla. This makes for a comforting and filling baked oatmeal option that can be served warm or reheated.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups banana $0.68, mashed, ripe, about 3 medium bananas
- 1 large egg $0.27
- 1/4 cup peanut butter $0.31, natural
- 1/4 cup brown sugar $0.04
- 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.28
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 1 tsp baking powder $0.06
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder $0.29, unsweetened
- 2 cups milk $1.12, whole
- 3 cups rolled oats $0.50, old-fashioned
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter $0.15, natural, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Mash the bananas well, then place them in a large mixing bowl along with the egg, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Whisk until the mixture is mostly smooth (there may be small pieces of banana).
- Add the milk to the chocolate banana mixture, and then whisk until smooth again. Add the dry rolled oats and then stir until combined.
- Pour the oat mixture into a 2-3 quart casserole dish coated with non-stick spray. Drizzle the remaining 2 Tbsp peanut butter over the oats and drag a knife through to create swirls. If needed, warm the peanut butter slightly to make it runny enough to drizzle over the oats.
- Bake the oats in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Serve warm, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; avoid steel-cut or quick oats in this recipe.
- Swirling additional peanut butter on top before baking adds intensity and visually appealing topping.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving for a warm breakfast.
