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 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Toppings (optional)
- Peanut butter
- Whipped cream
- Maple syrup
- Nuts
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent the oatmeal from sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and no dry oats remain.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the oatmeal looks set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Add optional toppings such as peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts, then serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Baked brownie oatmeal is a nutritious and satisfying alternative to traditional brownies or oatmeal.
- For added protein, consider adding nuts or a scoop of protein powder into the batter.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or another liquid sweetener if desired.
- Be sure not to overbake to keep the oatmeal moist and chewy rather than dry.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated for quick breakfasts later in the week.
