If you want to have a schoolyard kid moment with your significant other, make PB&J Baked Oatmeal for breakfast.
By Julia Mueller
If giggling like a school kid over PB & J oatmeal first thing in the morning keeps you young, then I’m back in the 2nd grade. “It’s like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich all mashed up in a bowl” (giggle giggle), was the boyfriend’s comment. We’re serious food people. 
Hey, PB pal, take a dive into my oatmeal and meeeeeelt away! My love for peanut butter is no mystery and I’ve thought about adding it to oatmeal for quite some time, but couldn’t bring myself to do it until. now. What would happen to my beloved oats? More importantly, what would happen to my darling peanut butter?
Awesomeness is the answer. Pure awesomeness. On account of the peanut butter, this oatmeal turns out with a creamy texture (thanks PB, you never do me wrong) and you know what the jam does. The jam just. does. The fact that it’s baked makes it even better…baked oatmeal is booooonkers!
If you want to have a schoolyard kid moment with your significant other, make PB&J Baked Oatmeal for breakfast. You’ll giggle. The only thing you’ll talk about is what type of jam to use. It’s the only thing that will matter and the matter is serious, so tread lightly. The reality of being an adult won’t phase you the whole time you eat this. So make a big portion; that’d be smart.

I have been having oat meal with peanut butter for a long time, but instead of serving it with the jam, I use banana. Just cut it into small peaces and mix to the oatmeal when it is almost done. Perfect!
Absolutely delicious! And so easy! My toddler loved it with strawberry jam. Definitely a new favorite in our home! Thank you :)
