Description

This Baked Chocolate Brownie Oatmeal recipe is a delicious and wholesome twist on traditional oatmeal, combining the rich flavor of chocolate brownies with the heartiness of oats.

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 and Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
  • Optional toppings: peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, nuts


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, mixing well to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until the batter is evenly combined, ensuring no dry patches remain.
  5. Add chocolate chips. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips throughout the batter, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for a melty, decorative finish.
  6. Bake the oatmeal. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. The oatmeal will have a fudgy brownie-like texture.
  7. Cool and serve. Let the baked oatmeal cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite optional toppings like peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts, then enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg, let sit 5 mins).
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator will keep them fresh for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference for sweetness.
