Why You’ll Love these Chocolate Baked Oats

Easy to make. All you need to do is to add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor, blend and then bake!

Tastes like cake. By blending the oats, they take on a texture closer to cake than regular baked oats. So while this recipe has all the healthy goodness of oatmeal, it comes out looking and tasting more like a mug cake!

Healthy and packed with nutrients. These Chocolate Baked Oats are filled with fibre and protein. This recipe is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free.

I eat this chocolatey treat for breakfast but it also makes a great snack or healthy dessert.

Ingredients you will need:

• Rolled oats: If you want to make these baked oats gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats for this recipe. Rolled oats can also be substituted with quick oats.
• Cocoa powder: Use a good quality cocoa powder that is unsweetened.
• Baking powder: This helps the baked oats rise and become more cake like.
• Salt: just a pinch to balance out the flavours.
• Maple syrup: Agave syrup or other liquid sweetener can also be used.
• Peanut butter: I use all natural peanut butter, you can also use any other nut butter, like almond butter or my homemade Pecan Almond Butter
• Banana: Adds sweetness and moisture to these baked oats. Use a very ripe banana, the riper the better! A ripe banana is smooth and creamy compared with the hard and starchy green banana. So you want those brown spots!
• Almond milk: I love unsweetened almond milk and use it in most of my recipes. You can also substitute for any other kind of milk. Soy milk or oat milk are two examples that works great in this recipe.
• Chocolate chips: I prefer dark chocolate in this recipe, use your favourite! Save some for the top these baked oats.

Making Chocolate Baked Oats is easy:

Simply place all the ingredients in a hight speed blender or a food processor and blend until smooth.

Fold in the chocolate chips, saving some for topping.

Grease 2 ramekins with a little oil or vegan butter. I used ramekins that can fit about 1 cup. If you only have smaller ramekins, you might need to use 3. Fill the ramekins ¾ full and top with a few extra chocolate chips. Top the batter with some chocolate chips.

You can bake these oats 2 different ways:

To bake in the oven:

1. Preheat the oven to 175C (350F). Bake the oatmeal for about 25 minutes or until they feel firm to the touch. Let the baked oats cool down slightly before serving.

To cook in the microwave:

1. Cook on high for 2 – 3 min depending on your microwave. Let the baked oats cool down slightly before serving.
