Taking time to make and eat a hot breakfast is one of life's little pleasures. When I want a hot breakfast, I usually turn to the oatmeal pancake mix that is a permanent resident in my fridge, but baked oatmeal is a delicious alternative. And while it does take a few minutes longer to bake, I almost think it's easier than cooking pancakes. (No need to stand around playing flapjack flipper!)
I happen to love desserts with peanut butter in them, and this particular version of baked oatmeal is a fun little treat because it has the flavors of peanut butter oatmeal cookies. But you can eat it knowing you're consuming a lot less sugar and butter than if you actually did decide to eat cookies for breakfast. I prefer to eat this with a splash of milk poured on top immediately before eating. We have breakfast food for dinner once a week or so, and I look forward to this no matter what time of day I make it.

1/2 cup peanut butter

Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk, butter, eggs, vanilla and peanut butter. Mix until combined.
Spread into greased pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Serve with a splash of milk, if desired.
