High Protein Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal

Lately I’ve been hooked on this high protein peanut butter baked oatmeal. It’s easy to make, tastes amazing, and keeps me full all morning long.

I’ve been baking a batch at the beginning of the week and cutting it into bars for a quick breakfast. I just heat one up, top with a few extra blueberries or a drizzle of peanut butter, and you’re good to go.

I pair this with 2-3 scrambled eggs and my homemade iced latte for a full breakfast. with 30+ grams of protein.

What I love most is that it’s packed with protein (about 15–20 grams per serving, depending on your ingredients) without tasting like a “protein recipe.”

It’s just soft, lightly sweet, and super satisfying. Plus, the mix of oats, peanut butter, and blueberries makes it feel like something you’d actually want to eat every day.

SO, HOW DO THESE ACTUALLY TASTE? Ok, here’s the thing. These don’t taste like a sugar loaded cinnamon roll or cake-like breakfast treat such as banana bread or a blueberry muffin. These taste like a very neutral, simple oatmeal recipe with a hint of sweetness and a nut butter flavor. I think they taste good! But, just know they don’t taste super sweet and are not a very “exciting” recipe. They are a great way to get protein and do NOT taste “protein powdery” at all which is why I love this recipe so much!

The ingredient list is simple. It includes rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, protein powder, a little coconut oil and maple syrup for moisture and flavor, and of course, blueberries.

I use Truvani peanut butter protein powder, but any brand you love will work. The Fairlife milk adds an extra protein boost, but again, use what you have. Non-dairy milk like almond milk works too. It’s a flexible recipe.

Once baked, these oatmeal bars hold together really well and taste just as good reheated as they do fresh out of the oven. Just store them in the refrigerator.

You can eat them warm for breakfast, pack one for an on the go snack, or even top a square with Greek yogurt for a little extra protein.

Baked oatmeal really is the best. You get all the cozy flavor of oatmeal with the convenience of a grab and go bar. It’s one of those make once, enjoy all week kind of recipes that makes mornings so much easier.

They taste SO good with peanut butter drizzled over top.
