Chocolate Chip Cookie Baked Oatmeal
A cozy breakfast that combines the indulgent taste of chocolate chip cookies with wholesome rolled oats, making it perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (at least 2% fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prep four ramekins or a baking dish by spraying lightly with oil.
- Method one: Add all ingredients except for chocolate into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on high until the batter is smooth.
- Method two: Pulse rolled oats in the food processor until blended into a fine texture. Add to a large bowl and combine with dry ingredients: dark brown sugar, flax seed, salt, and baking powder. Then add wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs and combine well.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly into each ramekin and top with more chocolate chips as desired.
Baking
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes depending on how firm you like your baked oats. When baked oats are ready, they will be slightly golden brown and feel firm but still a little spongy in the middle. A fork should come out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
Notes
For an extra chewy texture, let the oats soak in the wet ingredients for about 10 minutes before baking. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate, and add a sprinkle of sea salt on top just before baking for a delightful sweet-and-salty flavor. For a healthier twist, substitute milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk.
