Sounds decadent, but this chocolate baked oatmeal with peanut butter is loaded with healthy ingredients. Of course, it’s still absolutely delicious and so easy to whip up.
I shared a variation of this chocolate baked oatmeal on Instagram and it was such a hit, I knew I had to make a version to share on the blog! My birthday, Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day land in this month so I figured now was the perfect time for chocolate baked oatmeal! I would love to wake up to this on my birthday (hint, hint, Isaac!) and also think it would be so fun to serve at a Galentine’s Day brunch.
How to Make Baked Oatmeal with Chocolate
One of the reasons baked oatmeal is so popular is because baked oatmeal recipes are so easy to whip up and perfect for meal prep! You literally need one bowl and one baking dish. Anytime I can cut back on dishes, I’m going to! We do wayyyy too many dishes around here to be adding more mixing bowls, especially now that we have a baby. From pump parts to bottles… it seems like our sink is always fill with dishes.
To make this baked oatmeal, you start by mixing together the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, baking powder, sea salt, flaxseed, mashed banana, coconut oil, peanut butter, vanilla in a large bowl. Once that’s combined, add in your chopped chocolate.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray and spread remaining chocolate pieces on top. Then, you’ll just bake until the oatmeal has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes and then drizzle peanut butter on top and serve!
Baked Oatmeal Dietary Swaps
I get a lot of questions about ingredient swaps for certain recipes so I thought I would share some easy swaps here if you’re trying to adapt the recipe to follow a certain diet.
Oats – be sure you use certified gluten-free oats if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
Almond milk – you can actually use any type of milk in place of the almond milk. Regular dairy milk or another plant-based option will work.
Peanut butter – as you know, I love the combination of peanut butter + chocolate, but if you have a nut allergy or prefer a different seed or nut butter, feel free to swap!
Chocolate – if you’re looking to keep this recipe vegan or dairy-free, be sure to use vegan chocolate. I like using the Lily’s chocolate, which is sweetened with stevia and lower in sugar.
Flaxseed – if you don’t have flaxseed on hand, you can use an egg instead or omit the flaxseed altogether.
Chocolate Baked Oatmeal Serving Suggestions:
Like I said, this would be the perfect baked oatmeal for a brunch! But what do you serve with chocolate baked oatmeal?!
Yogurt parfaits – could have them pre-made in little mason jars or it could be fun to have a build-your-own yogurt parfait bar!
Breakfast meat – can’t go wrong with breakfast meat at a brunch. Bacon or sausage would love lovely or try tempeh bacon for your vegan friends!
Fruit salad or fruit kabobs – every brunch needs fruit!
Fun drinks – I feel like drinks can really elevate the brunch! Serve fresh squeezed juices, mimosas and/or fun coffee drinks.

This chocolate baked oatmeal with peanut butter feels decadent, but it’s loaded with healthy ingredients and so easy to whip up!
Ingredients
2 cups rolled oats*
2 cups milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon baking powder
Scant 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed*
1 ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
2 Tablespoons peanut butter + more for drizzling
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips*
cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Spray an 8×8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, baking powder, sea salt, flaxseed, mashed banana, coconut oil, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir together, then add 1/8 cup of the chopped chocolate.
Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Scatter remaining chocolate on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Portion and serve with a drizzle of peanut butter on top.
For leftovers, let the baked oatmeal cool completely before covering or transferring to storage containers. The baked oatmeal should keep for 4-5 days in the fridge.
Notes
If you need this recipe to be gluten-free be sure to purchase certified gluten-free oats.
For a vegan version, be sure to purchase dairy-free/vegan chocolate.
If you don’t have flaxseed on hand, you can add an egg instead or omit.
I’ve been looking for low cholesterol recipes with oatmeal and found this one. I used an egg and opted for sugar free syrup. To be honest, I did not love this the first day. On day two I heated up a piece in the microwave and put a squirt of sugar free syrup on top. That’s the trick! All the breakfast brownie taste with the benefits of oatmeal! This is delicious and I will definitely make it again. It’s an easy quick breakfast and fits nicely into my meal prepping plans.
Ahh yay!! So glad you ended up liking this recipe, Jenifer. 🙂 Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me!
This is my life saver in times of desperate chocolate craving 🙈 I made it less sweet by using only half of the maple syrup. Thanks for sharing the recipe☺️🤗 Greetings from Belgium! (yes its a country 😜🤣)
You’re so welcome, Elies! I’m so glad you’re loving this baked oatmeal recipe. I so appreciate you taking the time to come back to leave a comment + star rating. <3
This oatmeal is so tasty! I used coconut milk and substituted a little unsweetened applesauce because I didn’t have any bananas. IMO I didn’t think it needed additional drizzle of PB or syrup. I’m excited to try some of the other options here at EBF.
Ahh yay!! I’m so glad you enjoyed this baked oatmeal recipe, Lauren. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. It means the world to me. 🙂
This was amazing! I made a few tweaks based what I had/wanted. I used applesauce instead of bananas, put all the chocolate chips inside, put chopped walnuts on top, and used 1% milk. All in all it was amazing, thank you for coming up with this recipe! 🙂
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Kaitlin! Thanks for making it and for sharing the subs you made in your comment. It’s super helpful for other readers 🙂
First time trying this and I love it! I didn’t use egg or flaxseed and used almond butter and honey. It’s really healthy and almost feels like you are eating a dessert for breakfast! What’s not to love?!
Ahh yay!! So glad this recipe turned out without the flax egg or regular egg – thanks for sharing and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating, Kate. I really appreciate it. <3
Wow, this was delicious! I used one of those small cups of applesauce since I didn’t have bananas, and I used espresso chips for the chocolate chips. I also used special dark cocoa powder, so it ended up being a dark chocolate-espresso kind of baked oatmeal. Easy to prepare and incredibly tasty!
Ohh I love the espresso addition!! I might have to try that at some point. 🙂 So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Maddy. Thanks for trying it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it!!
This is so good! I didn’t add the flaxseed and I was afraid of it tasting egg-y so I didn’t add that either and it was just fine. It tastes like dessert I’ve had it cold as a snack too! Cant believe it’s not higher in calories because it really is so good! Thank you for the recipe!

Really really good. I love that, once it cools you can throw the whole thing in the fridge. Then I have breakfast for a few days already taken cared of.
SO delicious!! This was a snap to throw together and it’s so flavorful, yummy, and full of delicious texture and chocoately goodness. I swapped the PB for almond butter due to an allergy and it’s amazing. My husband also raved about it! Can’t wait to eat off of the pan all week for breakfast. This will certainly become a regular part of our meal prep! Thanks, Brittany!!

Made this for breakfast today, used honey in place of maple syrup and added one scoop of chocolate whey protein and omg this was such an amazing recipe.

Hi! Loving all the super healthy but easy to find ingredients in this Recipe! I am obsessed with snacks like these. My kids though are looking for something sweeter (*eye roll*). Would Stevia drops be a good way to sweeten it up?
I can’t be more in love with your recipes! I line up so much with how you cook–I want food that tastes amazing but doesn’t skip on nutrition & real food ingredients to feed and nourish my fam. This won my girls over right away & was a huge hit for breakfast!!

Yay!! So glad this recipe turned out for you and that you enjoyed it, Anna. Thanks for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I really appreciate it. <3
Made this the other week! Few alterations, I used agave instead of maple syrup, and I used 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 1/4 in the mix and 1/4 on top. I portioned it out and every morning I pop a square in the oven for about 15 so the edges get crispy! I also top it with a tsp of peanut butter before baking 🙂
This recipe was perfect! I have a chocolate and peanut butter loving family and this was a great dish for all us plus extra for leftovers. Also great warmed up as leftovers!!

Amazing. Made twice. It’s so difficult to find time to make healthy food every day. This is so easy to reheat and sit back down to breastfeeding. I add brewers yeast and top with strawberries or pecans and peanut butter.

This was so simple to make! I baked it for 30 minutes and followed the recipe exactly. I let it set up for several minutes and it was so so so good! I drizzled almond butter over it and now I’m wondering how I’m going to have some self control. Delicious. Definitely will make this many more times. ♥️
Loved it. Substituted honey for maple syrup. And puréed fresh apple for banana only coz I had no banana. I also added an egg just in case for the binding process. Turned out delicious. Will try your original recipe next time. Definitely a hit. Thank you.
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear, Allie. Thanks for giving this recipe a try and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. I so appreciate it. <3

Made this and it was delicious my 17 and 13 yr. old sons loved it too!!! I was trying to upload the pics to IG but it kept saying failed … Wonk wonk! Great recipe as always!! I have made a lot of your stuff and it always comes out perfect and delicious! Thank you!

Hi Michelle. I haven’t tried it without the banana. I will say that the banana adds a nice sweetness without a ton of banana flavor! I think you might be able to use 1/2 cup applesauce instead, but I haven’t tested that so I’m not sure if the consistency and flavor will be the same. If you’re okay with eggs and collagen, I shared a chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal recipe on IG that has those things and doesn’t have banana. You can check that recipe out HERE.

I usually just use store-brand natural peanut butter and the brand just depends on where I’m shopping. But in general I look for a peanut butter that just has peanuts and salt for the ingredients. This type usually has oil on top and once you stir the oil in, it’s pretty drippy and easy to drizzle like this… until you get to the end of the jar when it gets drier. If your peanut butter is too thick to drizzle you can thin it out by adding a little coconut oil. Works like a charm!

Do you have to add the banana, or is there something that can be subbed for it?
Hi Michelle. I haven’t tried it without the banana. I will say that the banana adds a nice sweetness without a ton of banana flavor! I think you might be able to use 1/2 cup applesauce instead, but I haven’t tested that so I’m not sure if the consistency and flavor will be the same. If you’re okay with eggs and collagen, I shared a chocolate peanut butter baked oatmeal recipe on IG that has those things and doesn’t have banana. You can check that recipe out HERE.
Thabks. I’ll have to try that. It’s actually not the taste of the banana, I’m allergic to them.
Can you leave the banana out or sub in something else?
Hi Amber. I haven’t tried it without the banana. I will say that the banana adds a nice sweetness without a ton of banana flavor!

I should probably know this but are you using a specific brand of peanut butter to get it to drizzle or heating it up?
I usually just use store-brand natural peanut butter and the brand just depends on where I’m shopping. But in general I look for a peanut butter that just has peanuts and salt for the ingredients. This type usually has oil on top and once you stir the oil in, it’s pretty drippy and easy to drizzle like this… until you get to the end of the jar when it gets drier.
