Healthy Brownie Baked Oatmeal

2 + ¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon sea salt

1 ripe banana, mashed – about ½ cup

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1.5 cups milk – I used unsweetened soy milk

⅔ cup dark chocolate chips – plus more for topping the oatmeal

Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray an 8×8 pan or casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In s separate medium bowl mix the wet ingredients.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix in the chocolate chips.
Pour the oats mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer and top it with more chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake the oatmeal for 25-30 minutes until it is set in the middle and around the edges.
Remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before you slice and serve it.
Serve warm with a drizzle of peanut butter and sea salt.
