Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk or dairy alternative (e.g., almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (your choice of sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg or 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (to taste)
  • Fresh raspberries or sliced bananas (to taste)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional)
  • Chia seeds (optional)
  • Peanut butter (for swirling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or line individual ramekins with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk (or dairy alternative), sweetener, vanilla extract, and beaten egg (or flax egg) until smooth and well blended.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in chocolate chips or chunks if using.
  5. Bake Until Set: Transfer the batter to your prepared dish or ramekins. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top looks firm and slightly cracked and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the baked oats cool for a few minutes before serving to help firm up and enhance the fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best chewy, fudgy texture; avoid instant oats.
  • Allow the baked oats to rest a few minutes after baking to improve consistency.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the batter before baking and adding more sweetener if desired.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Watch baking time closely to avoid dryness – aim for moist, fudgy center with slightly firm edges.
