  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Scant 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips*
  • cooking spray

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Spray an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, baking powder, sea salt, flaxseed, mashed banana, coconut oil, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir together, then add 1/8 cup of the chopped chocolate. 
  • Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Scatter remaining chocolate on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Portion and serve with a drizzle of peanut butter on top.
  • For storage: store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-6 days.
  • To reheat: To reheat the whole baked oatmeal, cover with foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes. For individual portions, set toaster oven to 350°F and bake for 5-10 minutes or reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.
