Strawberry Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

The combination of flavors in this oatmeal was delicious. I have also made this with a 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, but prefer the peanut butter ones much better and so did my family. The nice thing about this recipe is you can switch out the fruit and chips to create many different flavors of oatmeal.

Strawberry Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 1/2 cups strawberries, sliced and divided
• 1/2 cup peanut butter chips, divided
• 2 cups fat free milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ripe banana, peeled, cut into 1/2 inch slices

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray the inside of a 9x13 baking dish very well with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl combine the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, orange zest, half of the strawberries, and half of the peanut butter chips.
3. In another large bowl whisk together the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Place the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
5. Arrange the remaining strawberries, peanut butter chips and all of the banana slices on top.
6. Pour the milk mixture over the entire dish, giving the dish a little shake to make sure the milk mixture is incorporated into the oats.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the milk mixture is set.
