Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Chocolate chip baked oatmeal is easy to make and perfect for breakfast or snacking! Naturally gluten free, dairy free, egg free and vegan, chocolate chip baked oats are great for meal prep too!
Add the dairy free milk, maple syrup and ground flax to a large bowl. Stir the flax immediately or it will clump.
Add the rolled oats and baking powder to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir well.
Add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract (optional) to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Stir to incorporate.
Spray a 8X8 casserole dish with non-stick spray (olive oil or avocado oil spray) and add the oatmeal mixture.
Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, take out of the oven and allow to cool at least 20 minutes before cutting into even pieces or serving with a spoon.
Notes
How to double the recipe? Double the ingredients, pour the mixture into a 9X13 pan and increase the cooking time by about 10 minutes. How to make baked oats in advance:Baked oatmeal can be made up to 5 days in advance, but if you are serving it for a holiday breakfast, I would make it the day/night before. Bake the oats and allow them to cool then transfer the entire casserole dish to the fridge and cover with foil or plastic wrap. In the morning, remove the foil/plastic wrap and return to the oven 350F for 20 minutes to reheat.How to warm up baked oatsWarm the oats up in the microwave or in the toaster oven for a quick breakfast all week.How to freeze baked oatmealCut the oats into single serving portions (I like to make rectangles or squares) and place in a freezer safe bag. Be sure to place parchment paper squares between the baked oatmeal squares to ensure they don't stick together when frozen. Defrost in the fridge overnight, in the microwave or in the toaster oven.How to tell it's done bakingBaked oatmeal will be firm to the touch and no longer jiggle when taken out of the oven. You should be able to smell the oats cooking and it will be lightly brown on the top.Also, it will continue to firm up when you allow the baked oats to cool after baking (20-30 minutes).Storing leftovers
Fridge – store leftover chocolate chip baked oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. The baked oats can sit out for 1 day but I would recommend storing them in the fridge long term for the best texture and taste.
Freezer – freeze up to 3 months.
