Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is uniform.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top before baking.
Transfer and Top: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the top looks set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with optional toppings like peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

This baked oatmeal combines healthy oats with indulgent chocolate, making it a perfect breakfast or dessert.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
For a dairy-free version, ensure the whipped cream topping is non-dairy or omit it.
Adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients can enhance the flavor profile.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat individual portions as needed.
