Yes, I’m late to the baked oatmeal trend. Truth be told I’m not much of an oatmeal fan, but when I realized I could add dark chocolate to oats and create something chocolately warm and satisfying, I couldn’t resist. This dark chocolate baked oatmeal is delicious – and it’s also super easy to make!

This recipe is sweetened with maple syrup and if you use 70% dark chocolate chips, it’s quite low in sugar. It’s also gluten free and packed with fiber from the oatmeal, flax and chia seeds. And if you make it with plant milk, it’s vegan.

How to Serve Dark Chocolate Baked Oatmeal

You can serve it hot or cold. (I prefer it warm). For breakfast, you could top it with a dollop of plain or vanilla yogurt and some fresh berries. Or with bananas and peanut butter. If you’re having it for dessert, top it with ice cream, fresh berries, or (traditional or coconut) whipped cream.

Delicious and warming, hearty and filling, it is an easy and healthy recipe, delivering a generous serving of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
