  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

3 cups rolled or old fashioned oats

2 eggs

1/2 cup brewed coffee

1 cup oat milk

1 large banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)

2 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup maple syrup

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus more for sprinkling

1 cup Greek yogurt (optional topping)

2 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)

1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, eggs, coffee, oat milk, mashed banana, vanilla extract, maple syrup, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the oats are firm to the touch.
