Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling on top)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Peanut butter
  • Whipped cream
  • Maple syrup
  • Nuts


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to blend all the dry ingredients evenly.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients, and stir well until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is homogenous.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter to spread chocolate throughout the oatmeal mixture.
  6. Pour and top: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added texture and chocolate bursts.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with only a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the baked oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite toppings such as peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts if desired, then enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats may become too mushy.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure the whipped cream used is non-dairy or omit toppings.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
  • Adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter can deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • Make sure coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
