Chocolate Banana Baked Oatmeal Recipe | Oats Recipe with Chocolate Chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, almond milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.

Grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches) and pour the oatmeal mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.

Serve warm, optionally topped with additional banana slices or a drizzle of maple syrup.
