Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup liquid egg whites
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 12 oz bag riced cauliflower steamed in the bag
½ cup chocolate protein powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup maple syrup plus more for topping (optional)
¼ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 8×8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
If you haven’t done so already, steam your riced cauliflower according to the package instructions, until soft and tender and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients except for the chocolate.
Fold in ⅛ cup of chocolate.
Carefully pour oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter remaining chocolate on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Portion and serve with a drizzle of nut butter and maple syrup on top.

Notes

Egg whites: If you don't have egg whites on hand you can definitely use whole eggs. I would stick to using just 2-3 eggs. For a vegan substitute you can combine ¼ cup ground flax with ½ cup water and let it soak for a few minutes to gel up before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
