Ingredients

2 eggs
¼ cup peanut butter or almond butter
⅓ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups almond milk
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
¼ cup cocoa powder
⅓ cup chocolate protein powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ - ½ cup chocolate chips, divided
Vanilla Greek yogurt and fresh berries for topping
Optional topping: drizzle of nut butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, nut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk and whisk well.
Next, add the dry ingredients: oats, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
Add half of the chocolate chips to the oatmeal mixture and mix well.
Line a 8x10 inch baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Pour the batter in the dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the center of the baked oats are set.
Let the baked oats cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with any toppings of choice.

Notes

If you want to omit the protein powder, you can substitute it with the same amount of whole oats or oat flour (you can create your own oat flour by pulsing oats in a food processor or high-speed blender). If you follow this option, we recommend using at least ½ cup of chocolate chips in the recipe to ensure enough sweetness and a rich chocolate flavor.
This recipe is gluten-free but we recommend ensuring that you use certified gluten-free oats. To make this recipe dairy-free, use dairy-free protein powder, chocolate chips, and yogurt. It is not a vegan recipe.
