These Chocolate Baked Oats require ZERO blending and they come together in one bowl!! Plus, they are dairy free, gluten free and EASYYYY!!! These baked oats are the perfect breakfast or sweet treat!
Preheat oven to 375 and spray a 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the chocolate oats. With a wooden spoon, stir about 30 seconds to a minute until everything is well combined and you have a thick batter. It will be about the thickness of pancake batter.
Pour mixture into a the baking pan. Top with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and oat mixture is slightly firm to the touch.
While oats are baking, you can make the optional Greek yogurt topping, if you like! Whisk together Greek yogurt, brown sugar and vanilla.
Allow the baked oats to cool, then cut into squares and top with the Greek yogurt, if using.
Notes
Note 1: Old fashioned rolled oats give the baked oats the absolute best texture. Quick cooking oats work fine too, however they have a shorter cooking time and I find they get slightly softer when baked. I would avoid steel cut oats, as they make the dish too soft and mushy. Note 2: Any non-dairy milk will work! Regular milk works great too if you aren't concerned with making this recipe dairy free!
