Baked oatmeal is really my new thing and I think it's because I used to love baking and now that I eat clean I miss that action of mixing things and waiting for a masterpiece to come out of the oven. With baked oatmeal I get to make delicious creations without white flour or white sugar. Many baked oatmeal recipes call for lining the baking dish with mashed bananas for sweetener but since I don't care for bananas I've tried out using other sweeteners.
I tried this with PB2 to cut back on calories, then with real peanut butter, and then PB&J with blackberries. I'd say the PB&J was my fave because it was sweetest. The one with PB2 only had a light peanut butter taste and the one with real peanut butter was just too heavy and not sweet enough because I held back on the honey to stay low on calories. You can make the PB&J with any berry you have on hand. Since my blackberries weren't very sweet I added a little sweetener, but I bet if I made this with strawberries it wouldn't need it.
