Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg or 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water (optional)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) which ensures your Chocolate Baked Oats bake evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute flavors and create your chocolatey base.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and the egg or flaxseed mixture. Stir well until everything is fully incorporated and the batter becomes thick and luscious.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently mix in chocolate chips or chunks so you get those gooey pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
  5. Bake and enjoy: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the oats are set but still moist inside. Let it cool slightly before serving for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the perfect chewy texture compared to quick or instant oats.
  • Don’t overbake; remove from oven as soon as edges pull away slightly to keep center moist.
  • Taste the batter before baking and adjust sweetness to preference.
  • Add espresso powder or cinnamon to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • Allow baked oats to cool for 5 minutes to set structure and intensify flavors.
