Strawberry Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.

2. Add frozen strawberries to the prepared pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.

3. Bake in the preheated oven until strawberries are softened and begin to release their juices, about 20 minutes.

4. 
   Meanwhile, combine peanut butter and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High until butter is melted, about 30 seconds; stir. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; whisk until thoroughly combined. Stir in oats, flaxseed meal, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined. Pour batter evenly over strawberries.
   

5. Return to the preheated oven and bake until oatmeal is set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
   

Cook's Note:

You can use honey or agave nectar or any other sweetener you prefer in place of maple syrup.
