Chocolate Banana Baked Oatmeal
Description
The recipe begins by combining dry ingredients—oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt—in a bowl. Separately, a wet mixture of almond milk, mashed bananas, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract is whisked together. Combining these forms a batter that is poured into a greased baking dish, then sprinkled with additional chocolate chips for visual appeal and flavor.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the oatmeal firms up into a sliceable, moist dish with a mild chocolate-banana taste. The cocoa powder provides a rich background without overwhelming the banana's natural sweetness. Coconut oil adds subtle richness and moisture, while baking powder ensures a lightly tender crumb.
Upon removing the oatmeal from the oven, a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt is added to enhance flavors and provide a slight savory contrast. The dish cools slightly before serving, making it enjoyable warm and satisfying as a breakfast or snack option.
