How to make this banana baked oatmeal ahead of time

I love this baked oatmeal recipe because it’s super easy to whip up a batch once and enjoy it all week long. Here’s how to make this peanut butter baked oatmeal the night before you plan to serve it. 

  • Make the entire recipe according to the instructions. Cool to room temperature, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator. In the morning place the covered baked oatmeal in the oven on warm and warm it for 10-15 minutes before serving. 

I don’ recommend making the batter overnight, but I have mixed the dry ingredients together the night before, and then in the morning combined the wet ingredients, added the dry and bake.

Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal: Substitutions 

As always I get many questions about substitutions! So here are a few swaps you could make in order to ensure that this peanut butter banana baked oatmeal fits your dietary needs!

  • Quick Cooking Oats: I find this recipe tastes the best with quick-cooking oats! If you only keep old-fashioned oats on hand you can easily toss them in your blender or food processor and pulse to achieve the same texture as quick-cooking oats and then proceed to use them in this recipe.
  • Peanut Butter: Any nut or seed butter can be used in place of peanut butter.
  • Maple Syrup: Honey or any other liquid sweetener of choice can be used in place of maple syrup.
  • Egg: A chia egg (1 TBS ground chia seeds mixed with 2 ½ TBS hot water) can be used in place of a regular egg to keep this peanut butter banana baked oatmeal vegan!
  • Almond milk: Any non-dairy milk can be used in place of almond milk. If you do not need to avoid dairy you may also use regular milk.

    This is so good. I left out the maple syrup. It was sweet enough with the bananas. I sprinkled some slivered almonds before baking. I didn’t drizzle the peanut butter on it instead I mixed a little peanut butter with plain Greek yogurt and had that with my square. Will definitely make these again and may try subbing unsweetened applesauce for the egg.
