    Folks although this chocolate peanut butter baked oats recipe is a fantastic festive breakfast recipe, it really is suitable all year round.

    Most years I make my baked apple and cinnamon oats for breakfast during the festive season.

    However this year I'll be making this chocolate peanut butter baked oats.

    You see as this breakfast is made from one of the most delicious food combinations, chocolate and peanut butter, it's like having dessert for breakfast!

    Baked oatmeal is one of my favourite breakfasts and I know that you all love baked oatmeal too.

    I mean what's not to love about it? It's not only delicious but it’s also nutritious!

    With colder mornings and the need to feel fully energised this baked oats with chocolate breakfast recipe is packed with energy.

    It’s also incredibly hearty and an excellent make-ahead breakfast recipe to save time and reduce stress.

    This chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal is a delicious easy to make festive breakfast

    But it's also fantastic as a treat breakfast at any time of the year too.

    The recipe only requires 8 ingredients and takes just 35 minutes to make and serve and you’ve got an amazing breakfast!

    What's not to love about having dessert for breakfast first thing on Christmas Day or indeed any day?

    You can substitute most other kinds of nut butters, for example almond butter, for the peanut butter I used in this recipe.

    Your chocolate peanut butter baked oats can be stored in the fridge, covered for 2 - 3 days.

    To freeze this recipe bake it first then cut it into slices and freeze in individual containers. You can quickly defrost these when needed.

    It just takes a minute or so to reheat this breakfast in the microwave.

    Ingredients

    • Cooking Oil Spray
    • Porridge Oats
    • Dark Chocolate Chips
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Peanut Butter
    • Greek Yogurt
    • Skimmed Milk
    • Honey
    • Large Egg

    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.

    Why You'll Love These Chocolate Peanut Butter Oats

    • It's great for busy mornings. This easy breakfast recipe takes just 10 minutes to make and then you pop it in the oven and get on with other things.

    Detailed instructions are in the recipe card below. But here is a quick step by step guide of how to make this chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal recipe:

    1. Preheat oven to 180 Degrees C Fan.
    2. Grease oven proof casserole / baking dish.
    3. In a large bowl mix the oats, chocolate chips and cinnamon together.
    4. In a seperate bowl whisk peanut butter, yogurt, milk, honey and egg together.

    FAQ's

    How To Make This Vegan?

    Substitute the milk for dairy-free milk and the egg for a flax egg. Instead of honey use maple syrup.

    What should I serve this with?

    As suggested in the recipe you can have a little additional milk or honey or yogurt if you want. Throw in some banana slices too if you want.

    How To Store?

    You can store in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. Any longer and I would recommend freezing.

    How To Freeze?

    Cut your peanut butter chocolate oatmeal into slices and freeze in individual containers. You can quickly defrost these when needed.

    It just takes a minute or so to reheat this breakfast in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.

      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? 🙂

        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.)

          Thanks Jeff. This can be easily microwaved. I don't see any problem with putting ice cream on it for breakfast either! 🙂

      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...

        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. 🙂

        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. 🙂

      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!

        Thanks Ben! You can't beat the peanut butter chocolate combo sometimes can you? And especially at this time of year!

      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!
