Baked Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

Years ago I found a baked oatmeal recipe online and started making it regularly. My kids loved it. The hubby loved it. I loved that I could make it the night before.

And then somehow, it worked it’s way out of our breakfast rotation – all but forgotten. Until now.

When I heard that Quaker Oats was taking the whole month of October (calling it Oatober – nifty, huh?)  to focus on oats – a super grain that has been a part of daily morning routines around the world for more than a hundred  years – I was excited to be a part jump in and share a recipe!

I couldn’t find the original recipe that we used to make, so I read through several online and came up with my own!

I  started with Quaker Oats, then added mostly staple ingredients and at the last minute, decided to stir in another of my most favorite ingredients: chocolate chips. 🙂  Breakfast that tastes like a cookie? Yes, please!

First, you’ll just take a large mixing bowl and mix together the oats, eggs, brown sugar, applesauce, baking powder, salt, vanilla and milk. Then it’ll look like this:

Next it’s time to stir in the chocolate chips! I measured out about a cup – you could do more or less if you like.

It’s so crazy how adding the chocolate chips seriously makes this wholesome breakfast treat taste like a giant slice of Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie. SO good!

Last, pour the mixture into a prepared 9″x13″ pan (and when I say prepared – I mean sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or rubbed down with butter) and then bake it at 375°F for around 30 minutes, give or take a few minutes.

Ooooor – if you’re working ahead, you can cover this with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, then bake it in the morning!

But when it’s baked, you just really want it to be firmly set and brown around the edges. Serve it warm with a tall glass of ice-cold milk and you’ll be in heaven!

  1. I made this recipe using muffin tins. Baked for 21 minutes came out perfect. Made 30 muffins. I also added a chopped banana. I do wish I had added more than a cup of the mini chocolate chips but other than that, great recipe! I’ll be excited to work with different flavor combos for next weeks batch, like dried fruits!
