Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, Dutch processed or unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond or oat milk, or milk of your choice
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir until fully combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish and, if you’d like, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for 30-355 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set.
  6. Take the dish out of the oven and, if you’d like, sprinkle it with flaky sea salt. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop into a bowl and dig in!
