Chocolate Baked Oatmeal [Blended or Whole]
Description
Chocolate Baked Oatmeal [Blended or Whole] starts with ripe mashed banana mixed with plant-based milk, vanilla extract, agave, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This wet mixture is then combined with old-fashioned oats to form the base. The oats can be blended for a fluffier, cake-like consistency or left whole for a chewier texture. Once mixed, optional vegan chocolate chips are pressed on top before baking in a greased 8x8 pan at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
The final baked oatmeal has a moist, tender consistency with rich chocolate notes from cocoa powder and banana sweetness. It offers a comforting texture that can be sliced into bars or spooned out. Serving it warm highlights the gooey chocolate chips, while chilling it firms the dish for easy slicing.
Texture adjustments are mainly controlled by the amount of plant-based milk and choice between blended or whole oats. For a crispier top, broiling briefly after baking is suggested. The recipe can be portioned into smaller ramekins or muffin tins for individual servings, adjusting bake time accordingly.
Ingredients
- 1 large banana mashed
- 1 ½ cups plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons agave
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder depending on your sweetness preference
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- ½ cups chocolate chips on top, garnish (optional, vegan or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and lightly oil and 8x8 baking dish.
- Place the banana in the baking dish and mash it until creamy. Add the milk, vanilla extract, agave, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the oats and mix well.
- Top with the vegan chocolate chips or chunks if using, and press them into the top of the oats.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before eating.

Notes
- Adjust the amount of plant-based milk to achieve softer or firmer textures without overbaking.
- Use either whole oats for chewiness, blended oats for fluffiness, or a mix for intermediate texture.
- For a crispier surface, broil the baked oatmeal for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Divide into smaller buttered ramekins or muffin tins for individual servings; bake for 15–25 minutes depending on size.
