Fudgy Brownie Baked Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 cups old-fashioned oats
02 -
½ cup dutch processed cocoa powder
03 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
¼ teaspoon salt
05 -
1¼ cup milk
06 -
⅓ cup maple syrup
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
3 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter)
09 -
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 -
½ cup chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
11 -
Melted chocolate and flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven going at 350°F. Grab your 8x8 baking pan and either spray it with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
03 -
Pour in the milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Stir everything until it's all combined and looks smooth.
04 -
Gently fold in those chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Pour the whole mixture into your prepared baking pan, then sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top.
05 -
Pop it in the oven for about 30-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the center feels set when you touch it. Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.
06 -
If you're feeling fancy, melt some extra chocolate chips or chopped chocolate and drizzle it over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for that perfect sweet-salty combo.
# Notes:
01 -
These brownie baked oats make an excellent meal prep breakfast that can be reheated throughout the week.
02 -
The dutch processed cocoa powder gives these a richer chocolate flavor than regular cocoa powder.
03 -
For a more decadent breakfast, serve warm with a scoop of yogurt or ice cream on top.
04 -
These can easily be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
