Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy free or regular)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (dairy free or regular)
  • 2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for topping (dairy free or regular)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F/175˚C. 
  2. Add milk, maple syrup, butter, almond butter, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. 
  3. Stir in oats until well combined. 
  4. Stir in chocolate chips. 
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 7x11" (or 8x8") pan. Sprinkle with more mini chocolate chips and bake for 35-37 minutes, until set in the center and golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

*Make it vegan: Use dairy free substitutes for the butter, milk and chocolate chips. To replace the eggs, we recommend using flax eggs. Mix together 2 tablespoons of flax meal and 5 tablespoons of water. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken before adding to the recipe. 

Maple syrup: You can also substitute with honey, agave or another liquid sweetener of choice. 

Oats are naturally gluten free but can have cross contamination with wheat products. If you have celiac disease or a gluten allergy, be sure to use certified gluten free oats.

Reheating: If you're just reheating an individual square, microwave for 45-60 seconds until warmed through. If you're reheating the entire pan, cover with aluminum foil and heat in a 350˚F oven for a 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

Storage: Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer freezer storage, slice the baked oats into squares, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag/container and store for up to 6 months.
