Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats ((210g))
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((24 grams))
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk or a plant-based milk)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (or virgin coconut oil, melted )
- cooking oil spray (like avocado oil spray to grease the baking pan)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch square baking dish with extra butter or oil. (I use this avocado spray.)
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- To the oat mixture, add milk, eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sweetener of choice (honey or maple syrup). Whisk to combine all the ingredients.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 5 minutes on the counter. This rest period allows the oats to absorb the liquids.
- Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- (Optional) Sprinkle the top of the oatmeal with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Use mini or regular-size chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350F, or until the center is firm. The baking time will depend on your pan. Clear glass, ceramic, and metal pans all bake at different rates. If the center isn’t firm, continue baking until ready.
How to Serve:
Add sliced bananas over the top, top with a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter, serve in a bowl over greek yogurt, or top slices with whipped cream (how to make homemade whipped cream, dairy or dairy-free).
