It’s funny, but PB&J doesn’t feel like a nostalgic food to me. My parents never excessively packed my lunch box with it, nor did they buy me those weird little Uncrustables. So I actually have no real reason or knowledge of why the flavor has been a necessity in my life; however, I can’t help but CRAVE it.
Today I wanted to re-share a recipe I created for all you PB&J lovers 10 whole years ago: my famous peanut butter and jelly baked oatmeal. It’s actually one of my original baked oatmeal recipes!
This delicious pan is FULL of peanut butter flavor, healthy fats, plenty of fiber, and over 10g of protein per serving for the perfect meal prep breakfast.
Ingredients in this peanut butter and jelly baked oatmeal
Not only is this PB&J baked oatmeal delicious, but it’s also SO easy to make and uses super simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Coconut oil: to give the oatmeal bake the perfect amount of moisture, you’ll need a little coconut oil. Feel free to use melted butter or vegan butter as well.
- Peanut butter: gotta have that rich peanut butter flavor! Be sure to use a natural, drippy peanut butter, and feel free to use creamy or crunchy.
- Maple syrup: we’re naturally sweetening this oatmeal bake with just a touch of pure maple syrup.
- Egg: you’ll need 2 eggs in this recipe to hold the oatmeal together.
- Milk: I use unsweetened almond milk in this recipe, but feel free to use any milk you’d like.
- Oats: the bulk of this recipe is made with old-fashioned rolled oats. Feel free to use gluten-free!
- Baking staples: you’ll also need some baking powder, cinnamon & salt.
- Jam: use any jam or jelly you like! I love using a low-sugar strawberry or raspberry jam.
Customize your oatmeal bake
- Mix up the nut butter. If you’re not into peanut butter or are allergic, feel free to use almond butter or cashew butter.
- Add some fresh fruit. I have also found that adding 1/2 cup of raspberries or diced strawberries to the recipe is exceptionally tasty. It’s also delicious with blueberries or sliced/chopped bananas on top or baked right in.
- Go nuts. This PB&J baked oatmeal would also be delicious with chopped peanuts, pecans, or walnuts stirred in the batter or sprinkled on top.
Can I make this peanut butter and jelly oatmeal bake vegan?
I think flax eggs or chia eggs will work well in this recipe, but I haven’t tested it to be sure. Let me know if you give it a try.
Can I use steel cut or quick oats?
I would not recommend using steel cut oats or quick oats in this recipe, as the texture will not be the same.
How to make peanut butter and jelly baked oatmeal
- Prep your pan. Grease a large an 8×8 inch pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the wet. In a large bowl, whisk together all of your wet ingredients until there aren’t any large lumps of peanut butter.
- Stir in the wet. Fold in all of the dry ingredients, then pour the mixture into your pan.
- Dollop the jelly. Drop teaspoonfuls of jam onto the oatmeal bake and gently swirl it in a couple of times. Don’t swirl too much or the jam will end up at the bottom of the oatmeal batter.
- Bake & serve. Bake it up until it’s barely golden brown, cut into slices, and serve!
Our favorite way to serve this oatmeal
This peanut butter & jelly oatmeal bake is delicious on its own, but we love serving it:
- With an extra drizzle of nut butter
- With a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries
- Warm in a bowl with milk poured on top
- On a breakfast plate with crispy bacon or these yummy breakfast meatballs (for extra protein!)
Make portable oatmeal cups
I love making these into cups to serve my kiddos:
- Line a muffin pan with 8-10 liners and spray the insides with cooking spray.
- Make the recipe as-is, then pour the mixture into the liners.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until the oatmeal cups are set and barely golden brown.
Meal prep this oatmeal bake
This peanut butter and jelly baked oatmeal can easily be prepped ahead of time! I suggest making it either the morning of or the night before, then cutting it into individual servings and storing it in separate airtight glass containers for easy reheating throughout the week.

Storing & freezing tips
- In the fridge: be sure the peanut butter and jelly oatmeal bake has completely cooled, and then cover the whole pan with tinfoil before transferring it to the refrigerator (or place individual slices in meal prep containers). It will stay good covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- In the freezer: once the baked oatmeal has completely cooled, cut it into 6 squares/slices and wrap each square in plastic wrap and tinfoil. You can also freeze the entire PB&J oatmeal bake for later by wrapping it well and placing it in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat it, place the unwrapped frozen square of baked oatmeal on a microwave safe dish and microwave it at 30 second intervals for 1-2 minutes. To reheat the entire baked oatmeal, simply reheat it in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F while it’s covered with tinfoil.

My fave is peanut butter and strawberry jam on a homemade seedy bread! Growing up in England, we never had PB&J’s… I didn’t have my first until I moved to Michigan in my twenties! This looks fab- I think I’ll make it tonight ready for breakfast tomorrow. My toddler loves baked oatmeal, and its much easier to clean up than regular oatmeal!

i love chunky salted pb with cherry preserves! when i was younger, i’d make pb&j’s to mask how healthy the bread tasted (butter and sugar never quite worked).
OMG cherry & PB sound amazing. My mom would love that.

This is amazing! New to your blog and I was looking for a recipe similar to this last week but couldn’t find one. Making today!
Enjoy!

Can I use steel cut oats for this?
I haven’t tested it with steel cut oats. If you try it, I would recommend decreasing the oats (steel-cut) to 3/4 cup and possibly increasing the milk a bit.
On my third attempt, i used 3/4 cup oats, 2 cups skim milk, and baked75 min on 375, covered with foil first 50 min. Turned out wonderful except the oats that stuck to bottom of skillet are crunchy and not cooked. Rest of oats were soft. We devoured it as always, but wondering if you think it’ll set-up right if i stir occasionally while it bakes? I’ve got 2 months to use up 9 lbs of oats.
So, my fourth attempt at using steel cut oats was perfect! Did everything as described plus stirred after 15 min and at 30 min, added jam after last stirring.
Perfect!
Oh, how I love baked oatmeal! Add PB+J to the mix, and I’m pretty sure you’ve hit the trifecta! This recipe sounds delicious, Monique, and I love that you baked it in a skillet! I’m sure those crispy edges are to.die.for.

Peanut butter bagels?! How have I never heard of such a thing? I adore PB&J. I grew up with strawberry jelly, and usually favor it or raspberry! This looks delicious 🙂

The one thing we always have in our home but don’t implement in recipes – peanut butter. And I love it sooo much! This baked thing looks really tasty. Will have to make it ASAP.
Yum! How long would you bake in muffin tins? And how many do you think it would make?
I would say 6 muffins and anywhere from 18-22 minutes would be my best guess.

If I don’t have gluten free oats, what should I use? I have old-fashioned & quick- cooking oats.
Old fashioned are perfect.

I made this for my four year old twins this morning. I know they loved it because while one was practically licking his plate the other said, “mommy, this is the best dessert ever.” Too funny. Thanks Monique!

Hands down, best oatmeal I’ve ever had! Thanks for the awesome recipe, Monique!!
Whoo hoo! So glad you liked it!
Hi Monique! Any ideas for a (still healthy) substitute for the coconut oil?
You can easily use a vegan butter or grapeseed oil!

This recipe was delicious! Thanks for making breakfast exciting again! If I wanted to add mashed bananas, what changes would I make to the recipe?
You can just add 1 mashed banana! Should be good to go 🙂

Delicious! Trying it with raisins next.
Thank you for the amazing looking recipe, about to try it!! 😀 I was wondering though, why ensure suing maple syrup if one replaces the with flax or chia seeds?
Thank you!

I made this recipe the other day & we love it! Thanks!
So wonderful to hear that, Veronica!
I remember making this right away when you first posted it!! It’s DELICIOUS 🙂 Love the PB&J combo!
Love that!! It’s an AK classic 🙂
I always shy away from adding oil- what is the purpose of the oil and what would happen if I skipped it?
Sounds great and I am going to make it today for tomorrow
You could skip it but I add it to help make the oatmeal bake less dry. You could add a tablespoon of apple sauce instead!

Every summer when the fruits are cheap and plentiful I make my own version of freezer jam. Just cooking down the fruit with sugar to taste until super thick. I have some raspberry or blackberry peach that would be perfect with this baked oatmeal dish. The weather is finally getting cooler and this will definitly be on the menu. Love all your recipes <3
Delicious! Raspberry is one of my favorite jams (and blackberry peach sounds incredible). Hope you love this one Carol!
Could you individually freeze these if making as muffins? Then reheat in microwave?
Yes, absolutely! The cooking time will change — I would check them after 15 minutes.
Could you use 1% milk instead of the almond milk?
Yes!

I and my 2, 3, and 7 year old tried this for breakfast today because it has all our favorite ingredients. We loved it, skillet was scraped empty in minutes! I’m finding we love so many recipes on your blog! Thank you!
So happy to hear that Mary! Such a great breakfast for the kiddos 🙂
This is such a great idea I love it! Baked oatmeal is the best! Pinned 🙂

Enjoy! 🙂
Thank you for the amazing looking recipe, about to try it!! 😀 I was wondering though, why ensure suing maple syrup if one replaces the with flax or chia seeds? So tasty looking and the kind of thing thankyou
If you’re using a flax or chia egg to make the recipe vegan, be sure to use maple syrup as well because honey is not vegan. Hope you love it!
This is my go to make ahead breakfast recipe now… I make a double batch every two weeks and freeze half (It freezes perfectly)! It’s Perfection!!! 😊
Love that! Great idea 🙂

When I poured it, it was all liquid. The jelly sank. Is that correct? I checked all the ingredient sizes.

You definitely have to be gentle with the jelly when adding it to the oatmeal bake. And yes, the bake should be liquid when pouring it!
Hi Monique! If I don’t have almond milk can I sub with cashew nut milk or even regular while milk ?
Regular whole* milk I mean
Hi! Yes that should work just fine.
I love PB&J oatmeal looks amazing, I’ll make it vegan
One of my favorites! Enjoy 🙂
Favorite breakfast!
Hi, Monique: would almond butter or sunflower butter work as a substitute for the peanut butter? Not for any dietary reasons, I ran out of PB. Almond butter gets a weird texture when it’s heated so I wasn’t sure if it would result in a product that is too liquidy.
Thank you
Hi Sarah! Yes, those should work well. Enjoy!
This wasn’t as filling as I was hoping it would be. I also ended up adding more jam for flavor too after it was baked, so I probably won’t make this one again.
Sorry to hear that! I have tons more oatmeal recipes here that you might like better: https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/oatmeal-recipes/ 🙂
I have corn starch and baking soda can I use either of those?
I wouldn’t recommend.
Hi, do you think this would turn out okay with skim milk instead of almond milk ? Thank you, Alisha
Yes that will work just fine!
Love this recipe! I have made it multiple times exactly as is and it’s yummy and satisfying (and extra perfect for this breastfeeding mama)!
Absolutely! So glad you love this one!
So easy and yummy! You could easily make so many variations – add fruit, chocolate chips, yogurt or whipped cream on top… yum!
Absolutely! So delicious 🙂
Hi Monique! It’s in the oven now, I can’t wait to try it. Can you omit the egg?
Hi Jamie! Hope you’re loving it 🙂 I haven’t tried omitting the egg, I’m sure you could sub a flax egg though!
I did this on am 8×8 glass pan, and it takes longer than the recommended time.
All ovens are different and it always depends on the heat source of the baking pan you are using. Since you used a slightly smaller pan, it makes sense that it took a bit longer.
OMG. I had to wrap it up and put it in the fridge right away otherwise I would’ve eaten it all in one sitting. Delish!!!
The best!! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This recipe is seriously so good. I bake mine in a muffin tin (3T of mixture per cup and I can get 12 cups) to have an easy breakfast for the rest of the week. I put one teaspoon of jelly in the middle of mine (Bonne Maman strawberry and blueberry are the best) and I bake them for 30 minutes. Easy and delicious 🙂
Perfect! And LOVE Bonne Maman strawberry + blueberry 🙂 such a great breakfast!
This is very tasty and a good recipe however the jelly just sank to the bottom instead of staying on top like yours – I think the recipe neglects to mention that you should make sure the jelly is either room temperature or even melted (then cooled) for it to cook better.
I don’t have an issue with the jelly needing to be at room temperature. It probably just depends on the jam/preserves you use! Sorry it sank for you.
The recipe is a brunch favorite with my family and can easily be changed up for the seasons. I’m currently I obsessed with using wild friends pumpkin peanut butter and bonne manam pumpkin preserves.
So happy to hear that! And the pumpkin swaps sound delicious 🙂
So comforting. This is childhood in a bowl basically. And I love that I can make breakfast for a few days in advance and just heat it up when I want something warm.
Absolutely! Great for meal prep 🙂
Amazing! So good and I forgot to add the cinnamon and still turned out delicious!
I’m so glad! Perfect breakfast 🙂
I doubled this recipe and put it in a 13 inch skillet for Christmas brunch. I used homemade cherry jam and it was delicious. We argued over who got to take the leftovers home! We will definitely make again!
Perfect! So happy to hear that.
so good and so easy to make. Definitely a good meal prep breakfast if you like oatmeal!
Absolutely! Glad you liked it!
Made this for breakfast today, but used almond butter and blueberry jam because that is what we had. Turned out absolutely delicious! Toddler and I both gobbled it up.
Thanks for the great recipes!
Perfect! So happy to hear that 🙂
Perfect for meal prep. The jam gets so melty and keeps the oats from getting dried out in the fridge. My husband asks for these regularly!
Love this recipe and freezes beautifully! I like a little extra jelly on it too!
The perfect breakfast!
Made this recipe after trying the Chunky Monkey version, and while my husband and I both loved it, I think we both wanted more jam. I ran out before getting to the full 1/4c the recipe calls for, but I still make add some to it when serving next time we make. Otherwise, love these baked oatmeal recipes form AK!
Definitely feel free to add some more next time (or even add some PB on top!) 🙂
I love ALL things PB&J and decided to make this for meal prep for the week and judging by my first taste, I’m a bit nervous it won’t last all week! It’s super easy to make & store for the week. I will definitely be adding this into my meal prep rotation!
The best! So glad you love this one 🙂
Yummm…the whole family liked this. We sliced bananas on top and some of us added some milk.
Delicious! Such a great breakfast 🙂
Peanut butter has got to be one of my all time favorite foods. I made this recipe this morning and it was so delicious and filling. I used Oat Milk instead of almond milk and grape preserves instead of strawberry jelly. Just because that is what we had on hand. I am excited for tomorrow when I can have it for breakfast again!
Mine too! Glad you enjoyed!
This recipe is a keeper!!! Tasted just like the good ole PB&J sandwich 🥪 but with a healthy twist!! We ❤️ loved it!!
Absolutely! Glad you all loved it 🙂
This was so incredibly easy to make and smells so good! Can’t wait to eat it for breakfast this week!
So glad you loved it!
This was delicious! At first, I was worried it wouldn’t be sweet enough, but after it was baked, I spread the jelly around a bit more and it was perfection.
Love it! Perfect breakfast.
THE BEST! My favorite oatmeal bake of all time. The texture is like muffin meets oatmeal and the flavor is so yummy. I actually like it even more cold/room temp so I make one and eat it all week for busy work mornings. Mine is usually done by 30 min, otherwise it starts to get dry.
So happy to hear that! Perfect breakfast 🙂
My family loves this recipe. We always have the ingredients on hand and it hits the spot every time!
I’m so glad!!
OMG. Warm out of the oven with a spoonful of yogurt on top and I am in heaven. I will be making this again very soon and I can’t wait to share with a friend. Thank you Monique for another perfect recipe. I can always count on you to have just what I need.
Oh, YAY! Glad you’re such a big fan. Can’t wait for you to make it again!!
This is sooooo easy and delicious. I am allergic to eggs so I used a flax egg instead and it did not do anything different to the taste. SOOO yummy
So happy that you enjoyed it and that the flax egg worked well in here! 🙂
This looks perfect, can’t wait to try. I’m wondering could I add some protein powder for those extra gains? If so how much you might if at all recommend?
I haven’t tried that, actually, so I can’t be sure! You could try a couple scoops plus a bit more milk so that the mixture isn’t too thick. Let me know how it goes 🙂
This recipe was so good. We used sugar free raspberry jam and sugar free maple syrup which was just right even for those who don’t have a sweet tooth. 10/10 will be making again and checking out the other recipes you have to offer. thanks so much!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Caroline! Excited for you to try more of my recipes 🙂 Thanks for the review!
So easy, nutritious and absolutely delicious. My husband who hates oatmeal can’t get enough of any of your baked oatmeal recipes. He says this one is his favorite and I agree! Will definitely make again!
So easy and delicious! I subbed in frozen blueberries because I was out of jam.
Just wondering if the baking powder is necessary, mine came out bitter. Plus adding chocolate chips maybe added to the bitterness.
I have made this recipe COUNTLESS times now. I’ve tried baked oatmeal all over the internet, and this is not only our family’s favorite, but a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Versatile, kid-friendly, and super easy!
Yay! So glad you and the fam are loving this recipe ❤️🙂
Couldn’t find a square pan or muffin liners for my tray so went with an 8” round. I baked for 34 mins, checking after 32 and when I went to serve it warm, it fell apart. I had thought this would be more of a bar/pie- something my toddler could hold in his hand. Was it supposed to be?
Mine fell apart as well
Hi! Did the oatmeal “set” when you pulled it out of the oven? And did you let it cool before cutting into it?
I have made this for the past two weeks for breakfast and I love it!
So stinking delicious! Eating this still warm from the oven is my favorite. I’m planning on making it again for the 3rd time in 2 weeks.
I was craving peanut butter and jelly and this oatmeal bake did the trick. This is the best oatmeal bake I’ve ever made! I halved the recipe and baked in a smaller dish since I’m the only one eating it. It worked perfectly. My jelly sunk and wasn’t as pretty as your pictures but the flavor was SO GOOD! Will make again!
Ahh yum! Sounds delicious, glad you are enjoying this recipe 🙂
Super tasty recipe, I would highly recommend it.
I tweaked it and added a ripe medium sized mashed banana and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I like that the recipe also provides you with alternatives too and explains how you can make ahead and store it etc!
It makes 6 good sized pieces, perfect with latte.
You could even serve it as a dessert too with some custard.
Amazing! Glad to Hera you’re loving this baked oatmeal and it turned out great for you!
The flavors were there, however I could tell from the start this wasn’t going to work. I made the “batter” and I noticed it was WAY too runny, but then I thought maybe the oats would soak it up. I baked it for 20 minutes and it was more of a pudding. So I did another 5, another 10, another 20. Even after baking 60 minutes all this made was a mushy oatmeal pudding. No crunch at ALL. IF there is a next time, I’ll try again with less almond milk.
So sorry to hear that! Did you use rolled oats? Or quick oats?
I’ve made this recipe so many times. It’s fantastic as a quick breakfast. I often make it for camping trips and like to serve it with Greek yoghurt and berries. Thanks for this fab recipe!
Love that! Great for meal prep 🙂
Can you replace the oats with oat flour? They are so good..my kid doesn’t like the texture of oats though
Hmm I haven’t tested it, but I think that *might* work. I’d just be worried that the oat flour might absorb a lot more of the wet ingredients than rolled oats do.
Perfect texture! Best baked oatmeal I’ve made!
So happy to hear that!
I’m so glad you reposted this and reminded me it exists! I remember making it way back in the early days when I first discovered AK. I made it this morning and my husband said “Wow, this is SO good!”
YES it’s such a great one to come back to! Glad you love it 🙂
This oatmeal bake is delicious! I can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow so I can eat it again. I’ve been making your oatmeal cups for years- usually pumpkin peanut butter or banana peanut butter. I’m so glad I finally tried this one..it was super easy too! This will be my new go to.
Amazing! So happy you loved this one!
A really delicious baked oatmeal. The jelly gives an awesome pop of flavour. It feels really light too. I followed the recipe exactly &it’s perfect. I served with Greek yoghurt, drizzled with a bit of maple syrup &fresh strawberries. Next time, I might try halving the recipe & baking in individual ramekins. Thanks for a fantastic recipe!
Absolutely! Perfect breakfast (and mini ones sound so fun!)
I wanted to love these SO BADLY and I think I would have if I sweetened them more. I always buy the cleanest/healthiest ingredients to keep in my kitchen, so the peanut butter and jam I used were not sweet enough alone to make these bars what they should have been. I did add maple syrup, but I should have added way more! Maybe I will mix & taste everything before adding the eggs to make sure it’s sweet enough next time.
Sorry to hear that! The jam and touch of maple syrup should give these enough sweetness, but yes, I’d recommend tasting next time if you’re worried that your ingredients aren’t sweet enough.
Loved it!
I make this EVERY week for meal prep! DELICIOUS! I do it as muffins and they turn out perfectly after 25 minutes. I let them cool completely in pan then wrap each one in tin foil and stick in reusable silicone bag in freezer, then pop out and use microwave to defrost as bread and they are perfect!
Love that!!
This oatmeal baked reminded me of my childhood! Who doesn’t love a good PB&J!!! It was so delicious and easy to make. I used the super thick old fashion oats because I love the texture it adds and added 1.5 scoop of protein powder to give it an extra protein boost. It stores nicely and is great for meal prep!
Right?! So good!
I’ve been working my way through your cookbook and have been loving it! I loved your espresso oatmeal bake from the book, and this one is so yummy too. Love that so many of your recipes are great for making ahead and freezing for busy mornings!
Amazing! So glad you’re loving the cookbook recipes 🙂
This is delicious! I added 2 TBS chia seeds, I TBS hemp seeds and 1 TBS whole flax seeds and it worked great! Thank you for another great recipe.
Perfect nourishing breakfast!
Made this to have for a quick nutritious weekday morning breakfast. It is delicious too
So happy to hear that!
My family just devoured this!!! Hard to find recipes that the whole family loves, including a picky two and five year old. We drizzled some peanut butter on top and it was perfection. Zero leftovers!
So happy to hear that!!
I have made this a couple of times but use nutella instead of jam, delish.
Sounds amazing!!
