Ingredients

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter , softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
heavy cream , for serving
sliced strawberries , for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking fish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla.
Add in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, flax seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; mix until combined (it will take a minute or two to incorporate all the cocoa powder - just keep whisking.)
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes (or until the top is cracked and set, but the center is still slightly soft.)
Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
Scoop (or cut) portions into shallow bowls and serve with a few tablespoons of heavy cream and sliced strawberries, if desired.

Notes

Make it vegan. You can easily make this baked oatmeal vegan by simply swapping out the whole milk for almond milk or coconut milk. When serving, you can also replace the heavy cream with a milk substitute.
