Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats Provides structure and chewiness; avoid quick oats for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder Adds deep chocolate flavor; unsweetened cocoa can substitute if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Helps the oats rise and become fluffy; ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavor; a pinch is all you need!
For the Wet Mixture
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk (of Choice) Adds moisture; consider using plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup Provides natural sweetness; can be replaced with honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients together; for a vegan alternative, opt for flax eggs.
  • 1/4 cup Melted Coconut Oil (or Butter) Adds richness; melted butter is a suitable substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor profile; always opt for pure extract for the best taste.
For the Sweet Treat
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Create delightful pockets of melted chocolate; feel free to mix with nuts for added crunch.
  • Optional Topping - Melted Chocolate For drizzling; it elevates both presentation and taste.
  • Optional Topping - Flaky Sea Salt Sprinkled on top, it heightens the chocolate flavor deliciously!

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Baked Oats
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup of Dutch processed cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until no lumps remain.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1/3 cup of maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter, then pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. The top should look slightly cracked.
  6. Let the Brownie Baked Oats cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into squares. Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.
