This one-bowl Chocolate Strawberry Baked Oatmeal is so easy to make (only 10 minutes to prep), and even easier to eat! These sweet and chocolatey baked oats are packed with fresh strawberries, dark cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and hearty rolled oats. It's meal prep friendly too, since you can make this ahead of time and reheat throughout the week! It's my favorite cozy meal to serve for Valentine's Day breakfast.
Preheat your oven to 350°Fahrenheit and spray an 8x8 square baking dish with non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
2¼ cups old-fashioned oats, ¼ cup dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour in the milk, maple syrup, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir until everything is combined.
1¼ cup milk, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 2 eggs, 3 tablespoon melted coconut oil, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gently fold in ¾ cup of the chopped strawberries and the chocolate chips.
1 cup chopped strawberries, ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Pour the oat mixture into the baking pan, and top with the extra ¼ cup of strawberries (add extra chocolate chips to top if desired) . Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow the oats to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
1 cup chopped strawberries
Notes
Store completely cooled oats in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven.
If the reheated oats are a bit dry, add a splash of milk to them.
To freeze, store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before enjoying.
