Peanut Butter Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal
Oatmeal is like an artist’s canvas. There are infinite ways to prepare, cook and bake it into an enjoyable and healthy breakfast. This Peanut Butter Banana Protein Baked Oatmeal is an easy way to create multiple morning meals from one recipe. Meal prep it on Sunday night and have your work/school mornings covered for the week.
Truthfully, I’m really not a baker at heart. This month’s Recipe Redux challenge is to “Bake Some Bread”. I don’t think I’ve ever baked bread and I’m not really interested in starting now. Again, not my thing. So, I’m baking oatmeal instead 🙂 What’s not to love about baked oatmeal? It’s packed with heart-healthy soluble fiber and is gluten free as long as any suspect ingredients are certified gluten free. I’ve probably created 20 different variations of toppings for this recipe. Prepared in a brownie pan, you can cut the baked oatmeal into 4 servings and enjoy as is or topped with a little sugar free maple syrup for 300 calories and 20 grams of protein, or cut it into 6 servings and add additional protein and fiber rich toppings.
Here are my favorites:
Baked Oatmeal with cottage cheese and blueberries
1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup blueberries
2 Tablespoons chocolate powdered peanut butter (reconstituted with water or unsweetened nut milk) and some extra banana slices
2 Tablespoons of powdered peanut butter, reconstituted with water to make a spread and topped with 1 Tablespoon of low or sugar free jelly/jam/fruit spread.
1/3 cup fat free ricotta mixed with 1/2 packet of stevia, 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, and topped with 1 Tablespoon of low or sugar free jam/jelly/fruit spread.
1/3 cup cottage cheese with 1/4 cup pomegranate arils or 3/4 cup strawberries or 1/2 cup raspberries
Baked Oatmeal with strawberry Greek yogurt and peanuts
1/4 cup low sugar strawberry Greek yogurt and 1/4 ounce chopped peanuts or almonds
1 Tablespoon low or sugar free pancake syrup with ½ sliced banana
I’ve also enjoyed it with sautéed apples, peaches and pears! Delish!
Have any ideas on how to top off this healthy breakfast?

I love this! Gosh I also struggled with the Recipe ReDux topic this month. Four failed baking attempts later, and I decided to make choc-chip cookies instead 🙂
This baked oatmeal looks delicious
Lol! We all can’t be bakers 🙂 I hope you enjoyed the cookies!
I love this! I am all about protein packed baked oatmeal 🙂
Thank you!
Yum, I just made baked oatmeal for the first time ever this month! Where have I been? Your peanut butter and banana protein packed baked oatmeal looks and sounds amazing. Pinned; am planning on trying this on the weekend.
Yay! Welcome to the baked oatmeal club! xoxo
This is perfect for meal prep! I like to do oatmeal for meal prep because it is SO easy. My husband just grabs and goes! I’m a lover of all things with a peanut butter and banana combo.
Thanks, Kelli!
Yum! During the winter I’m always looking for good breakfasts before a day of skiing, and this baked oatmeal definitely fits the bill! Pinning to make next weekend (praying for good snow!).
This looks like such a perfect snack!
Love peanut butter on my oatmeal, it’s been a staple breakfast for me for years. This baked version looks delicious!
Thanks, Kristina!
Peanut butter and banana are so great together. I’ve never tried them with oatmeal but will give it a try. Looks delicious.
Thanks, Kate!
This looks great! Baked oatmeal is perfect for families.
Thanks, Abbie!
I discovered your site via soundbitesrd podcast, and am excited about your protein breakfast recipes. I’m specifically looking for new things for my teen daughter who last year was diagnosed with wheat and cow’s milk allergies, who is getting tired of meat breakfasts. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks so much for reaching out, Victoria! I hope my recipes are helpful and they can easily be adapted to substitute cow’s milk products for plant based milks and yogurts. Best of luck to you and your daughter 🙂
Thank you so much, I have made this four separate times. My 13 month old and 4 year old call it cake. LOL my husband has me make a double batch. Because he’s up at night sneaking spoonfuls of it. Thank you so much as it’s been a wonderful recipe.
OMG, you made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your love of this recipe! 🙂
