Mix the wet ingredients on low speed.

Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to the wet ingredients.

Mix until combined, ensuring to keep the mixer on low speed when adding dry ingredients.

Fold in 1 cup of cooked oatmeal and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips that have been tossed in flour to prevent sinking.

Spread the thick batter evenly into a greased 9x13 inch pan.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, checking at the lower time to avoid overbaking.

Allow the cake to cool before frosting.

Prepare a fluffy peanut butter whipped cream frosting and spread it on top of the cooled cake.

Top with additional chocolate chips for garnish.
