Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir these together to distribute evenly.
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir well until all components are fully incorporated.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the texture looks set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Top with optional peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts as desired, and enjoy warm.

Notes

This baked brownie oatmeal is perfect as a nutritious breakfast or a guilt-free dessert.
You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or regular milk if preferred.
For a nut-free version, skip the optional nut toppings.
Use coconut oil melted to room temperature to ensure even mixing with wet ingredients.
Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the chocolate flavor.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
