A healthy breakfast has never looked or tasted this good! You’ll love my Peanut Butter Chunky Monkey Baked Oatmeal.
Hello! Hello!
So what about this breakfast? Chunky Monkey Baked Oatmeal.
I could not sleep the other night and started plotting out new recipes for the blog and came up with this. Does anyone else loose sleep over food creations? I had a vision of the delicous peanut butter drizzled on top of bananas with just a touch of chocolate.
I’m a fan of baked oatmeal, because it is an easy way to make a breakfast you can eat off of all week. It is also kind of foolproof because you just stir the ingredients for this Chunky Monkey Baked Oatemal together like a box cake.
It is all made with stuff I keep in the pantry on a regular basis.
The final product is topped with a light peanut butter drizzle, fresh sliced banana and if you are feeling especially wild a light sprinkle of dark chocolate chips.
Other than the chocolate, this recipe is nothing but healthy! And if you consider there is only a 1/4 cup in the entire dish AND it’s dark chocolate, it’s not that bad of a deal.
So get your chunky monkey on and enjoy my Peanut Butter Chunky Monkey Baked Oatmeal!
- 2 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 over-ripe bananas smashed with some chunks left
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- Toppings: melted peanut butter sliced bananas, dark chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease a 8x8 baking pan.
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined.
- Pour into the baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Microwave peanut butter for 20-30 seconds to loosen it up enough to drizzle. I tested with unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
I’m trying something new with some long pins for Pinterest! If you like the recipe, pin to your Breakfast or Healthy Baking board! Thank you!

Your turn!
What do you eat for breakfast?
If you are eating a day(s) after making do you eat it cold? Warm up in microwave? Heat up in a pot with more milk? Yes to all?? 😉
I warm mine up in the microwave just a touch (not too much) and serve it with milk or plain!

YUM – this looks so good. I love simple breakfasts that last multiple days. Also, I am a firm believer in dark chocolate for heart health. 🙂
Me too! Dark chocolate this the best.
That looks delicious! Though I’d likely leave out the peanut butter. I feel like I’m the only person on earth who doesn’t like peanut butter!
You might be! I’m sure it would still be good though.
What a great recipe, this looks delicious! Thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a fantastic day!
Come Back Soon!

I’m a big fan of oatmeal, and I have it for breakfast often, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried it with peanut butter. Sounds yummy!
Thanks Denise! It’s so tasty!
Yes please peanut butter and bananas always! When I make pb banana oats I always feel full for hours! What a great idea for busy mornings to throw it in a bake it while working out and having it ready when I’m done and breakfast made for the rest of the family as well!
It’s such a good food combination!
That sounds really good! My husband has been on an oatmeal kick lately. I may try this on him this weekend!

Ok, I wasn’t hungry before I arrived here…..buuuut now I am 😉 This looks amazing!
Thank you! I hope you have a chance to try it!
What a great recipe Julie. I could go for that any time of day! I used to keep a notepad and lighted pen on my nightstand when I was creating recipes for the Pillsbury Bake-Off. That way, if a recipe idea hit me after I turned off the light, I could jot it down and it was waiting for me in the morning. ?
That’s good thinking 🙂 I let it keep me up too often! haha
This looks so great. I’m an a huge oatmeal kick right now and I love baked oats as well. thanks for sharing!
Thanks Annette! I hope you get to try it!
That looks so good and a great, healthy way to start the day! I should make them for my husband for his quick breakfast that he needs in the morning!
It is soooo quick! Makes the mornings easy.
This looks fun. I love how it is healthy. I will have to check it out.
Thanks Lady! I hope you enjoy it.
What a simple and delicious breakfast idea! My kids love all these ingredients!
Thanks Heather!
I have a deep love for baked oatmeal, so thanks for giving me another one to try! Pinned!!
Thank you so much for the pin!!
I think my son would even eat this….and he can be very picky! I love dishes that can be made and last the better part of the week (because I do not have time to cook every single morning!) This looks awesome!
This sounds delicious! Something that looks so decadent, it’s hard to believe that it is healthy…..Yum!
Don’t ya love recipes like that 🙂
I need to get on the oatmeal bake boat. I get so tired of making it every night, haha, this would be so much easier! Oatmeal is such a great thing to diversify!
Sooooo much easier!!!
I love oatmeal! I need to make this one for my son, who loves chocolate ( but not oatmeal so much!)
Just hide it in chocolate 🙂
That looks absolutely amazing! I’m sort of a grab and go take person so this would be perfect for me assuming it’s not too messy LOL.
You could eat it as more of a bar. I like to put it in a bowl with the toppings. Sometimes I’ll even add a splash of almond milk.
I’ve been very into baked oatmeal as well but have not added choc chips yet yum!
It’s a little sinful… but so good 🙂
Excuse me while I eat the screen. HOW CAN I BE OUT OF OATS. That needs to be rectified so that this can be made. Pinned!
Haha! Go to the store immediately! 🙂
