Double Chocolate Baked Oatmeal Ingredients
You just need 10 healthy ingredients to make this baked oatmeal recipe. All you need is:
- quick oats
- large eggs
- chocolate milk
- unsweetened applesauce
- white or brown sugar (optional)
- vanilla extract
- baking powder
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- salt
- chocolate chips
Tips
Storage: Store any leftover chocolate oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Do not store are room temperature because the moisture in the oatmeal makes it go bad quickly.
Replace the quick-cooking oats. If you don’t have quick oats, rolled oats or steel cut oats would work too. Just know that this will make this oats recipe more chewy and less fluffy.
Make it into a cake! Okay, maybe not a cake, but it will have a cake-like texture! Just place all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) into a high-speed blender or a food processor, then mix in the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, and sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top. The baking time may decrease, so check on it at the 25-30 minute mark the first time you try this.
Swap out the chocolate chips. For a rich chocolate flavor, I would opt for dark chocolate chips. But if you don’t want chocolate chips at all, some good swaps would be fresh fruit, dried fruits, sprinkles or your favorite toppings.
