Chocolate Baked Oats
Breakfast for dessert is never a bad idea especially when there's chocolate involved. I added homemade stuffed chocolates but you don't have to. This protein rich breakfast is perfect without them.
Equipment
- heart shaped baking dish optional
- air fryer or oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oats blended
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1 banana mashed
- 1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground flax + 2 1/2 tbsp warm water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 scoop Botanica Health protein powder (see blog for link to purchase)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- ¾ cup soy milk
- 3 tsp almond butter
- 3 tsp strawberry chia jam
- 3 chocolate hearts optional
Instructions
- Prepare flax egg and set it aside to gel for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Blend 1 cup of oats in a high speed blender.
- In a medium sized bowl add mashed banana, flax egg, oat flour (blended oats), oats, vanilla, cacao, salt, baking powder and milk. Mix thoroughly.
- Scrape into a greased pan. Add dollops of almond butter and jam. Use a skewer or knife to swirl into oats.
- Press chocolates into oats making sure they are covered. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Wait 5 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
The heart pan isn't necessary but it IS FUN.
