It's the perfect base for topping with any fruit especially berry and nut butter. The best part is you make it ahead and have breakfast all week long!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup strawberries
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add in maple syrup, yogurt, almond milk, & vanilla extract.
- Once combined, pour in the oats, cocoa powder, baking powder & sea salt. Mix until well combined. Pour into your well greased baking pan.
- If you want to add the berries INTO your baked oatmeal, go ahead and chop them and mix them in now. If you'd rather just top with strawberries like I did, reserve them for topping so your oatmeal is just a chocolate base!
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until center is set but still soft.
- Makes about 6-8 servings depending on hunger level.
Notes
For storing: Once cooled completely, store in the fridge for up to a week. It’s easier to cut into slices once it’s been refrigerated.
For freezing: Individually wrap slices in plastic wrap and then store in a freezer bag. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and heat or eat cold in the morning!
