Quick & Fudgy Brownie Baked Oats is a delightful and easy-to-make breakfast or snack option that combines the rich flavors of chocolate brownies with the wholesome texture of baked oats. This recipe yields a fudgy, chocolatey treat that is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced by chocolate chips, perfect for a cozy indulgence without the mess of traditional brownies.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups milk
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
  • Melted chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray an 8×8 baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned oats, Dutch processed cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), and pure vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and fully combined without any dry patches.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the ½ cup of chocolate chips with a rubber spatula to incorporate them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake: Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra richness. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool and Garnish: Allow the baked oats to cool in the pan for several minutes to set further. Optionally, melt extra chocolate chips or chopped chocolate and drizzle over the top, then finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for contrast before serving.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats may result in a mushier bake.
  • Coconut oil or butter can be used interchangeably depending on preference or dietary needs.
  • The maple syrup provides natural sweetness; adjust amount to taste but keep in mind it affects the fudginess.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or other plant-based milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a wonderful balance to the sweetness if used.
