Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with additional peanut butter or a splash of milk.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • To increase protein content, consider adding a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to the mixture, adjusting the milk quantity as needed to maintain consistency.
  • This baked oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or enjoy cold.
