Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp hempseeds
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp maple syrup (as per taste)
1/4 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips (semi sweet)
1/4 cup chopped vegan chocolate (dark style)

Toppings

vegan chocolate squares or 2 tbsp dairy free chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare an 8-inch square or rectangle baking dish preferably a glass baking dish.
In the baking dish, combine oats, baking powder, salt, chia seeds, hempseeds and cocoa powder. Mix it well with a spoon.
In the oats mixture (same baking dish), add almond milk, vanilla extract and 1 tbsp maple syrup. Stir it well with a spoon.
Fold in chocolate chips and chopped chocolate in it. Stir it very well with a spoon. Taste test it at this point and add another 1 tbsp of maple syrup if required. (Remember that chocolate chips and chopped chocolate are semi sweet and will melt while baking. These baked oats will taste somewhat sweet so add maple syrup accordingly). Top it with individual chocolate squares or 2 tbsp chocolate chips.
Place the baking pan in the middle rack of preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn it off and let it settle for 2 minutes in the warm oven. Take it out and place it on a flat counter and let the bubbles, if any, calm down. It will firm up as it settles down. Do not let it cool completely. Divide it into 6 squares with a sharp knife. Scoop it with a cake server or any flat spatula and serve it warm over cold dairy free milk with berries of your choice.

Notes

Oat milk can also be used in this recipe.
I have used almond dark chocolate candy bar here so this recipe has nuts. You may use any vegan chocolate candy bar (dark style) to make it nut free.
If desired then add ¼ cup + 2 tbsp dairy free chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate and top it with more 2 tbsp chocolate chips and bake.
The leftovers can be refrigerated in the same baking dish with a lid for 3-4 days. Make sure to warm it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds before serving.
These chocolate baked oats taste best when served warm with cold milk.
This recipe is not very sweet because its not a dessert. It is mildly sweet and very soothing. If you like your baked oats sweeter, feel free to drizzle maple syrup on your slice as per your taste.
