Baked Brownie Oatmeal Recipe

Yes, you stave your chocoholic craving and still have a nutritious recipe! And it’s so easy! For step-by-step instructions, check out the printable recipe card below, but here is what you’ll need to get started!

• OLD FASHIONED OATS – Any rolled oats will do. I would not use steel cut oats as they may not cook enough during baking. And oats are naturally gluten-free, making this great for all diets!
• UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER – Any brand will do. It gives this dish that rich, chocolate flavor. 
• BAKING POWDER – A leavening agent that gives the oatmeal that light, fluffy texture. 
• SALT – It’s always great to bake with salt to offset the sweetness of the dish. 
• BROWN SUGAR – We used light brown sugar. It gives more depth of rich sweetness to the dish. 
• MILK – We just used 2% milk. But you can also use any milk you want or need. Non-dairy milk like Soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or oat milk will work. 
• FRESH BANANA – Use a fairly ripe banana. You want some nice brown spots on them. 
• BUTTER – We used unsalted. You can also use a nut butter to keep this dairy-free. Almond butter would work great. 
• VANILLA EXTRACT – We always recommend using a high quality vanilla extract. 
• CHOCOLATE CHIPS – We used semi-sweet chocolate chips. But you can use any sort of chocolate chips that you’d like. Dark Chocolate Chips would be great in this recipe!

Storage, Leftovers and Freezing

You should store your leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. You reheat it in the microwave or eat it cold. 

Baked Chocolate Oatmeal freezes great! Just let it fully cool and then put it in a freezer-safe container. It should be good in your freezer for up to 4 months. Allow to cool in the fridge overnight. 

Other Notes, Tips and FAQs

• CAN YOU MAKE BROWNIE BAKED OATMEAL AHEAD OF TIME? – You can also make this ahead of time the night before for an even easier meal prep in the morning.
• TOPPINGS IDEAS – For an extra morning treat, try topping with whipped cream or ice cream. Or drizzle some maple syrup or honey on top. Spread nut butter, peanut butter. Top with chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, coconut flakes, Greek yogurt or strawberries. 
• CAN THIS BE SERVED AS A DESSERT? – Absolutely! Especially with some whipped cream and extra chocolate chips on top! Yum!
