Ingredients
- 4 cups oats quick cooking
- 1 cup peanut butter (sub with sunflower seed or almond butter)
- ¾ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup oat milk
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp tablespoon salt
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then line a 9x5 inch square loaf pan with parchment paper or a baking liner. This ensures your oatmeal squares won't stick.
- In a large bowl, combine all your ingredients except the dark chocolate. Mix until well mixed. TIP: If your peanut butter or nut butter is too cold it may be hard to mix. You can slowly microwave it to bring it to room temperature. Just be sure to not over heat.
- Now, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Pour your batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use your spatula to spread it evenly and then place it in the oven.
- Let it bake for 20-25 minutes. You're looking for a beautiful golden top and firm edges.Tip: Every oven is different. Start checking at the 20-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan. Once cooled, slice into big squares.

Notes
- To store your baked oats:
- Soaggy squares: Ensure you are using quick-cooking oats and you are only adding the suggested amount of liquid. As the thickness of oats tends to vary between brands you may need to reduce the amount of oat milk you use. For this recipe, we used Bob's Red Mill quick-cooking oats.
- Room Temp: store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh and ready to eat for up to 2 days.
- Fridge: If you prefer them chilled or want to extend their freshness, pop them in the refrigerator. In an airtight container, they'll last for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze these squares. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They'll keep for up to 3 months.
