Chocolate Baked Oatmeal
This oatmeal is sweet and cake-like, but uses wholesome ingredients that are nutritious and filling. It's high in fiber and protein making it perfect for breakfast or even dessert to help keep you feeling full and satiated.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- pinch of coarse kosher salt for topping, optional
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- oil for spraying ramekins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put the rolled oats into the blender and blend until it turns into a powder-like flour.
- Add all other ingredients into the blender except for the salt and chocolate chips.
- Blend until smooth.
- Spray two 4 ounce ramekins with oil. Pour halfway with batter in each ramekin and add some chocolate chips. Cover with more batter and top with more chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
- Let cool and enjoy!
Notes
- Blending the oats first gives an even consistency that hides the trace of the oats. It also gives it a better, cake-like texture. It's not totally necessary to do this step, as my original recipe did not pre-blend the oats. However, I get best results when pre-blending them.
