Peanut butter and jelly are combined into this easy to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal. It is a breakfast that your family is sure to love!
Over the last fifteen years, I have shared over twenty versions of baked oatmeal. I hope you are not tired of them because I have a new version for you today.
My peanut butter baked oatmeal recipe I developed years ago has been one of the most popular recipes on my site. Today’s recipe is a version of that baked oatmeal.
I have used that basic peanut butter baked oatmeal recipe to create several other versions like peanut butter and chocolate chip, pumpkin baked oatmeal, banana baked oatmeal, and even a version without peanut butter for my daughter, who can no longer have peanut butter.
I took my peanut butter baked oatmeal and added jelly making it a peanut butter and jelly baked oatmeal.
What is the first thing many of us think of when we think of peanut butter?
Jelly, of course. Peanut butter and jelly is a natural combination that works perfectly in baked oatmeal. My kids love this!
Baked oatmeal is one of our favorite breakfasts, and I hope your family enjoys it, too!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Baked Oatmeal
All the flavors of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a bowl of oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 3 cups quick cooking oats- I use gluten free quick oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup peanut butter ( this works well with soy butter or other peanut butter alternatives)
- 1/2 -3/4 cup jelly
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients, except jelly, together and stir well.
- Spread in a greased 9x13 pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of jelly on top of the oatmeal. I have tried mixing the jelly into the batter, but we like it best just spooning it on top.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. If you like it a little crunchy on top cook for a few minutes longer.
Notes
This recipe is gluten free as long as you use gluten free oatmeal and read labels to make sure your ingredients are gluten free.

I’ve never had baked oatmeal before, but this looks so good! So, forgive me for the possibly obvious question, but when you eat the leftovers, how do you heat it up or do you eat it cold?
@Lauren, We reheat the leftovers, but they reheat well. I often double or triple my baked oatmeals and use them throughout the week. I hope that helps.
@Lynn, Thank you!!
Can you use old-fashion oats instead? I dont really like the texture of quick cooking oats.
@jessica, Yes you can. I have had several readers say it works well in my baked oatmeals. We prefer the quick oats, but either should work fine.
I am fairly new here, and couldn’t resist trying this recipe today. It was a HUGE hit with two of my kids!! And I am so happy I have leftovers and they are able to be reheated–what a time saver! The other one is sick so she is being extra picky. 🙁 I’ll try some of your other versions soon, maybe that will win her over.
Now I am tempted to dig through your archives for more yummy recipes!!
@Lynsey, I am so glad that your family enjoyed it and I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon. My kids love all the versions of it, so I hope yours do too.
Lynn-
Do you used GF oats and do they work the same. I miss my baked oatmeal since going GF.
Thanks
Kristin
@Kristin, Yes I used gluten free oats. I used the gf quick oats which can be hard to find. I order them online, but you can also use gf regular oats the texture will just be a little different. The baked oatmeals make great gf breakfasts when using the gf oats. We love them!
PB&J- well, almond butter in my case, as I’m allergic to peanuts- is one of my all-time FAVORITE foods. The idea of mixing it into baked oatmeal is absolutely genius! I have GOT to try this soon! I’ve just discovered your site and I love it, being a gluten-free teen myself. 🙂
I am so thankful to see this comment! My kids are allergic to peanuts as well, and I wondered about Justin’s almond butter, or hazelnut butter. Have you tried anything else just to change it up a bit? I am looking for ideas! Thanks, Amanda
I use sunbutter since we deal with both tree nuts and peanut allergies in our house. I think any of the nut butters or nut butter alternatives would work find.
Going to make this one today. All your baked oatmeal recipes are great for freezer breakfasts for my kids! Thanks, Lynn!
