I love making big breakfasts on Sunday that will last me throughout the week.  With a long drive to work, I have to leave the house before I have a chance to eat breakfast.  Baked oatmeal makes a great breakfast to easily eat and enjoy when I get to work.  I love that this recipe is hearty and helps keep me satisfied until lunch time.

Baked Peanut Butter Apple Oatmeal

Slightly modified from Two Peas and Their Pod

2 cups old fashioned oats
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups skim milk (or milk of your choice)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter
1 1/4 cups diced apples (leave the skins on, about 1 large apple)

In a medium bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.  In a small bowl wish together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.   Add milk mixture to oats.  Stir in peanut butter until smooth.  Mix in apples.
