    I'm always in favor of a delicious breakfast recipe that can feed a crowd, and this chocolate chip baked oatmeal is definitely one that you will want to keep in your back pocket the next time you are hosting friends or family at your home. It's moist, delicious, and loaded with chocolate flavor. It's not only great for breakfast or brunch, but it makes a tasty (and dare I say, relatively healthy) dessert as well!

    If you love this recipe, but don't need to feed a crowd, whip up a serving of this single serving baked oatmeal. To make this chocolate chip version, stir in a tablespoon of chocolate chips (or how ever much suits your fancy!).

    🧾 Ingredients

    Chocolate chip baked oatmeal ingredients

    • Baking powder.
    • Salt. Enhances flavor.
    • Milk. We used 2% milk, but you can use whole or 1% milk as well. You can also substitute soy or nut milk.

    🥣 Equipment

    • Large bowl. Used to mix the dry ingredients
    • Blender. Used to mix wet ingredients. I find the blender to be convenient for mixing wet ingredients for baked goods. Of course, you can always use a bowl and electric mixer instead.
    • Medium bowl. Used to mix the wet ingredients if not using the blender method.
    • Electric mixer. Used to mix the wet ingredients if not using the blender method.
    • 8-inch square ceramic baking dish.

    ℹ️ Substitutions

    • Low Sugar - Substitute Swerve products for the sugar used in this recipe: Swerve brown sugar. (affiliate link).
    • Vegan - The base recipe for this chocolate chip baked oats contains no bananas. However, to make a vegan version, you can substitute two very ripe mashed bananas for the eggs, almond milk for the milk, and coconut oil or unsalted vegan butter for the butter. The bananas act as a binding agent and add a nice banana bread flavor to these oats.
    • Gluten Free - Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make a gluten-free version of this recipe.

    💡 Variations

    • Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal - Drizzle some homemade peanut butter syrup over the top. You can find the recipe in our post for peanut butter pancakes.
    • Nutty Version - Stir in ¾ cup of chopped nuts, like pecans, peanuts, walnuts, or almonds. For added flavor, toast them in a skillet first. To toast, add dry nuts to a skillet over low-medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until nuts are lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Visit My Baking Addition's tutorial for how to toast nuts for more toasting options.
    • Single Serving - Check out our recipe for single serving baked oatmeal.

    🌡️ Storage

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. It will keep for up to a week in the fridge.

    You can also portion it out into individual freezer-safe containers and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, remove to a microwave-safe bowl or plate and heat in the microwave on high for about a minute. If it's not hot enough, continue heating at 30-second intervals until heated through.
