- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed – about 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups milk – I used unsweetened soy milk
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips – plus more for topping the oatmeal
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray an 8×8 pan or casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- In s separate medium bowl mix the wet ingredients.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the oats mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and top it with more chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake the oatmeal for 25-30 minutes until it is set in the middle and around the edges.
- Remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before you slice and serve it.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of peanut butter and sea salt.
Notes
- Make sure you use rolled oats and not steal-cut oats.
- It is important to let the baked oatmeal cool since it will firm up as it cools before you serve it.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the microwave until warmed through. You can also reheat the oatmeal in the oven at 350°F.
