kcalThis is a fudgy, chocolatey breakfast treat that tastes like dessert but is packed with nourishing ingredients. Made with oats, cacao powder, banana, and a flax egg, it's a wholesome way to start your day or enjoy as a healthy snack. Naturally sweetened and optionally studded with dairy-free chocolate chips, it's gluten-free, oil-free, and meal-prep friendly.
2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1/4 cup unsweetened cacao powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (or unsweetened applesauce)
2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water (flax egg)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional but delicious)
1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter (optional for richness)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
Make the flax egg: Combine ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, mashed banana, flax egg, vanilla, and nut butter (if using).
Combine: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Pour into the baking dish and spread evenly. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little fudgy is fine!).
Cool slightly, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy as is or with a dollop of dairy-free yogurt or drizzle of nut butter.
