Description

This Chocolate Baked Oats recipe offers a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that’s easy to prepare. Combining rolled oats, ripe banana, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chunks, it creates a warm, comforting, and slightly gooey treat that’s perfect for chocolate lovers seeking a healthier start to their day. It’s customizable with vegan substitutions and serves two, making it ideal for a cozy morning or brunch.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature while you prepare the batter.
  2. Blend the batter: In a blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, egg, ripe banana, baking powder, cocoa powder, honey, and kosher salt. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture becomes smooth and the oats are thoroughly broken down, creating a uniform batter.
  3. Divide the batter: Pour the blended oat batter evenly into two 10-ounce ramekins, ensuring both portions have similar amounts for consistent baking.
  4. Add chocolate chunks: Sprinkle the dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips uniformly on top of the batter in each ramekin to infuse chocolate flavor as it bakes.
  5. Bake the oats: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling and stability. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, indicating proper doneness.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the baked oats to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for a gooey texture or at room temperature if you prefer a firmer consistency.

Notes

  • You can substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) to make this recipe vegan.
  • Use maple syrup as a vegan alternative to honey.
  • The baking time might slightly vary depending on your oven and ramekin size, so check doneness with a toothpick.
  • Feel free to customize by adding nuts or fresh berries for extra texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the microwave.
