Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal: Substitutions
Quick-cooking oats. Old fashioned oats work well, the texture will be slightly chewier. Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works well in this recipe, I suggest organic cane sugar. Peanut butter. Any nut or seed butter can be used in this recipe. Honey. Use maple syrup for a vegan version. Egg. For an egg-free, vegan option mix 1 TBS ground chia seeds or ground flaxseed with 2.5 TBS of hot water. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes or until a gel forms, then use it in the recipe. Milk. Any dairy or dairy-free milk works great. My top suggestions are almond milk and whole milk.
How to make Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal
Let’s walk through this recipe together, and don’t forget to watch the video. Begin by combining the wet ingredients (except milk) in a large bowl. Then, add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Then, stir in the milk. Next, fold in the chocolate chips. Then, pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle some mini chips on top. Bake until the top is set and springs back when touched. Then, let the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
