Chocolate Baked Oatmeal (Gluten Free)
This chocolate baked oatmeal features gluten-free rolled oats blended with ripe banana, nut butter, cocoa powder, egg, and maple syrup to create a creamy, pudding-like batter. Folded with dark chocolate chips, the mixture bakes into warm, individual ramekins with a soft and slightly set texture. The recipe balances mild sweetness with chocolate richness and offers a wholesome breakfast or snack option suited for gluten-free diets.
Ingredients
- ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 tbsp nut butter see note, creamy
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk of choice
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 4 ramekins or small oven safe bowls with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Add all ingredients except chocolate chips to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. The texture will be similar to pudding.
- Pour into a bowl. Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Pour batter equally into 4 ramekins. Garnish with more chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and serve!
Notes
- Use ripe banana for best flavor and texture.
- Creamy nut butters like peanut, cashew, or almond work well.
- Rolled oats are preferred; quick oats also work, but steel cut oats are unsuitable.
- Choose any preferred milk; almond or carton coconut milk are good options.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean without overbaking to retain softness.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to five days; reheat quickly in microwave.
