    Ingredients and Substitutions

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats - Quick cooking oats are fine in substitution.
    • Cocoa Powder - The chocolate flavor of these baked oats comes from unsweetened cocoa powder.
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt
    • PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder - This powder is the prime supplier of peanut butter flavor (and a boost of protein) with far less of the calories. You can find this peanut butter powder at most grocery stores and on Amazon.
    • Light Brown Sugar (packed) - Brown sugar is the sweetener of choice for this recipe. You can also use maple syrup. If so, add it in with the liquid ingredients in the second step.
    • Oat Milk - While I prefer oat milk for baked oatmeal because of its oat flavor (and lack of dairy) substitute it with any other milk.
    • Egg (room temperature) - To make egg-free, use a flax egg.
    • Coconut Oil (melted) - Other fats including any nuetral flavored oil (avocado or canola) or melted butter are great substitutes.
    • Vanilla Extract - Use the good stuff!
    • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (or chunks)

    Instructions

    1 - Whisk the liquid ingredients together.

    The liquid ingredients mixed together in a liquid measuring cup with a whisk.

    2 - Whisk the dry ingredients together.

    3 - Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.

    4 - Stir in the chocolate chips.

    5 - Transfer mixture to a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes, or until mixture is set.

    Equipment

    • Anchor Hocking 8-inch Square Baking Dish - This dish is glass, sturdy, and comes with a lid for easy storage.
    • Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowl Set - Nesting bowls are great for baking because they offer the perfect sizes for all of the different stages of mixing. I especially love this Pyrex set because they are see through (glass) and very sturdy.
    • OXO Good Grips Large Whisk - This is the whisk that I have; I use it regularly. It has a comfortable grip which makes whisking a breeze.

    Tips

    SIFT THE COCOA POWDER - Cocoa powder has the tendency to clump up. For best results, run the cocoa through a sieve before adding it to the other dry ingredients.

    ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS TO TOP - Before baking, place chocolate chips or chunks onto the surface of the oatmeal batter.

    BEST WAYS TO SERVE - Serve warm or cold. I love drizzling a slice with melted peanut butter and a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Also delicious, drizzle with maple syrup and serve with fresh berries.

    Variations

    • Stir in nuts for crunch.
    • Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips use peanut butter chips.
    • To Reduce the Sugar Content: Use monk fruit sugar substitutes or Stevia.

    Make-Ahead, Storing, Freezing, and Reheating

    • MAKE-AHEAD - Baked oatmeal is a fantastic {and nutrient dense} make-ahead breakfast. Bake a tray in advance and then slice into desired portions. Refrigerate or freeze slices individually. Pull out a slice on a busy morning. Enjoy warm or cold.
    • STORE - Store baked oatmeal in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
    • FREEZE - Wrap slices individually and transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container or zip-top bag. Freeze slices for up to 3 months.
    • REHEAT - Place a slice of baked oatmeal onto a microwave-safe dish. Cover and heat for 45 seconds - one minute. Serve with desired condiments or toppings.

    FAQ

    Can I use steel-cut oats in this recipe?

    Do not use steel-cut oats in this recipe. These oats are sliced instead of flattened in processing which means they need longer cooking time.

    Do I have to use PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder in this recipe?

    This recipe was designed around this ingredient. PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder has less fat than regular peanut butter. In addition, it is easy to incorporate into this recipe since it is a powder. *If substituting regular peanut butter, the nutritional content will not be accurate (fat and calories will go up), however, it can be used. Melt ¼ cup of smooth peanut butter and whisk it into the wet ingredients.
