I love making oatmeal bake recipes because they are so easy and perfect for the family or even if you have some company! This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bake has been a huge success in our home! I also made this for my husband’s army crew that came back from a training recently and it was a hit! Now I am excited to share with you!

5. Add the milk and stir..
6. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
7. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9×9” baking pan.
8. Melt the extra peanut butter and drizzle on top. I use a knife to make swirls for extra decoration on top!
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Or until the top slightly springs back when touched and the edges are just barely brown!
10. Cool before digging in! ENJOY!!
