I've been wanting to for awhile. Not because I'm such a great cook and want to impart my wisdom with a few loyal readers (because I'm not really great, "adequate" is probably a term I would use), but because sometimes I need a good place to store my recipes!
I often turn to the internet when I want a recipe for something. Then I try the recipe. Close my computer. Eat the food. Sometimes find that it was a GREAT recipe. Although, I nearly always make tweaks and a few changes. Several months go by and I want to try that recipe again, but I spend 15 minutes looking on my computer for what site I used. And then I have to try and remember what tweaks I made. (Yes, I know what Pinterest is and I use it, but I don't always "Pin" everything.)
And I'm sharing this Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal recipe not because it's the best thing I can make......but simply because I felt like posting it and actually followed through.
So, onto the Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal.
My family loves this. I do a Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal that I am crazy about and will maybe share the recipe sometime. But the boys requested Peanut Butter today.
This isn't like a bowl of goopy, mushy oatmeal. This bakes up, almost cake-like. I like to eat mine with a little milk poured over top. This is great for breaking up and letting our 1-year old eat as well. Regular oatmeal is messy for him or I have to sit and feed it to him.

I promise that I'll take better pictures. Someday. |
Sometimes I've mixed this up the night before and then just put it in the oven the next morning. It really mixes up easily, but I just don't like to have to do "clean up" first thing in the morning.
