See recipe card for quantities.
Substitutions
- Cooking Oil Spray - you could use a little olive oil instead.
- Porridge Oats - Just ordinary rolled oats. Don't use quick oats. Use old-fashioned oats / steel-cut oats only. Or use gluten-free oats.
- Dark Chocolate Chips - use dark chocolate which is more of a healthy chocolate with healthy fats as opposed to milk chocolate.
- Ground Cinnamon
- Peanut Butter - use a smooth creamy peanut butter only. Preferably sugar free. I like to use a natural peanut butter.
- Greek Yogurt - you could use regular yogurt but Greek yogurt has more protein, less sugar and a thicker consistency for cooking with.
- Skimmed Milk - use an alternative milk of choice if you like. Coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk or soy milk would also work.
- Honey - you could use maple syrup instead.
- Large Egg - if you're making this vegan you can use a flax egg.

David @ Spiced
Ah, I love baked oatmeal! There is just something about the flavor of oats once they are baked - cookies, quick breads, oatmeal. Yum! This is a fun twist with the peanut butter + chocolate combination. I don't love chocolate for breakfast, but I could actually see enjoying this as a dessert! Can I add a scoop of vanilla ice cream? 🙂
Neil
This is perfect for dessert David with a scoop for vanilla ice cream. As well as perfect for breakfast, lunch, supper...... 😆
Jeff the Chef
I have to agree with David: I also love baked oats. I also love a hot breakfast that can be microwaved, to help ease me out of my early morning fog. However, I do like chocolate for breakfast, so I'm all in! (A scoop of ice cream is probably one of the few things I haven't had for breakfast.)
Neil
Thanks Jeff. This can be easily microwaved. I don't see any problem with putting ice cream on it for breakfast either! 🙂
Ron
Neil, I'd forgotten about baked oatmeal. I used to make it for my kids, but not as fancy as yours. I'll sent this over to them so they can make it for their kids. I'm with David, I want it with ice cream. No, wait, I want it with vanilla custard sauce. Nope I want it both ways...
Neil
Thanks Ron. Hope your kids get a chance to make this for breakfast, or as I said to David any time of the day! It really is delicious. 🙂
mimi rippee
Well this is yummy! And decadent, indeed. Maybe more decadent than healthy??!!!!!! Love it, thanks.
Neil
I would agree with you Mimi and say this is probably more decadent than healthy. But as this time of year, and especially with the year we've had I usually give the healthyness a little but of a rest. 🙂
Ben | Havocinthekitchen
I am a huge fan of peanut butter - chocolate combo. I even occasionally sprinkle my peanut butter toast with some extra chocolate (When the toast is still lightly warm, so both peanut butter and chocolate would soften a bit. ) I also LOVE oat in all possible ways. So this recipe is right up my alley, absolutely delicious!
Neil
Thanks Ben! You can't beat the peanut butter chocolate combo sometimes can you? And especially at this time of year!
Katerina
I love baked oats for breakfast (and any other course, let's not pretend) but I've never tried (or seen) this peanut butter and chocolate version before - that's such a good idea, Neil! I love love love this and will definitely try it out first chance I get (once I finally stop baking Christmas cookies)! Happy nearly Christmas to you and Lynne!
Neil
Your kids will love this Katerina! I'll happily swap as much of this as you want for those Christmas cookies too!! Ha ha! Happy nearly Christmas to you all as well. 🙂
