These baked oats are wholesome enough for the lunchbox, filling enough for breakfast, and fudgy enough to pass as dessert. Made in one pan with simple ingredients, they are perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or an after-school snack.
Combine the coconut milk, pure maple syrup, peanut butter (or sunflower butter), and vanilla in a bowl. Then, mix in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, flax, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into a baking pan and bake at 350°F for 40–50 minutes until fudgy and cooked through.
