Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips plus extra for topping

**Wet Ingredients:**

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

**Optional:**

  • 2 tablespoons all-natural creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or coating it with coconut oil spray.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients in the baking dish and mix well.
  • Crack the eggs into the dish, whisk them, and then add the remaining wet ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the oatmeal comes out clean.
  • Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 10 minutes. Slice, add fresh banana slices on top, and savor every bite!

Notes

  • You can use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe.
  • Feel free to use any type of chocolate chips you prefer.
  • To freeze leftovers, let the baked oatmeal cool completely before slicing and storing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
  • For added protein, you can substitute ¼ cup of chocolate protein powder for ¼ cup of cocoa powder.
