I do love a bowl of hot oatmeal for breakfast. But I’m kind of picky on how that oatmeal has to be. It cannot be watery or slimy.

Yeah, I pretty much only add a little bit of water and make it thick. Oh, but it can’t be thick like paste either. And it has to have brown sugar and raisins in it.

It’s ok, I know what a picky oatmeal eater I am.

A few years ago I tried a Baked Biscoff Oatmeal and really enjoyed eating oatmeal that way. I had completely forgotten about it until awhile ago when I was trying to come up with something different for our kids to eat for breakfast.

That one stood out from the old breakfast recipes, and I knew I need to make it again.

For this baked oatmeal I took one of my favorite sandwich flavors and turned it into breakfast food.

I can remember eating peanut butter and honey sandwiches for school. The honey would soak into the bread and kind of harden by the time it was lunch time. Those sandwiches were so good.

Of course, it may have been because I would soak the bread with honey.

This baked oatmeal has peanut butter and a few chocolate chips mixed into the batter. Gotta have some chocolate for breakfast. At least that’s what my daughter always tells me. She’s right you know!

Healthy Baked Oatmeal

And another great thing about this baked oatmeal is how healthy it is.

There is no butter or oil in this breakfast bake. The peanut butter and applesauce give it all the goodness it needs.

Now there is a little bit of sugar and some chocolate, but when you spread it out over the whole pan, it isn’t very much. Well, unless you eat the whole pan by yourself. And trust me, that is easy to do.

This peanut butter oatmeal is great because it bakes pretty sturdy. You can just about eat it like a granola bar if you eat it cold. The first day I had some cold with a little bit of honey and a little bit more chocolate. Oh, it was so delicious.

But then the second day, I popped the plate in the microwave for about 20 seconds, drizzled on the honey, and sprinkled some chips and about died when I took a bite!!!

Seriously!!! You need to try this warm! It will blow your mind!!! The honey soaks into the oatmeal and the chocolate chips get all melty and amazing!

There is a second pan of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bake now waiting on our counter now because I may have finished off the rest of the first pan!

Trust me and make yourself a pan today!!!
