- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. ground flax
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. pure almond extract
For the dry ingredients:
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (GF if desired)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (or carob chips)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all wet ingredients and stir. (Soften the peanut butter in the microwave first if needed.)
- Then add dry ingredients. Stir well until cocoa powder clumps are dissolved and combined.
- Pour mixture into an 8 x 8" glass baking dish. Gently stir to evenly disperse the oats. Sprinkle more chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. Serve with sliced bananas, berries, a drizzle of peanut butter, etc.
Notes
Oil-free: Omit the chocolate chips as they typically contain oil.
Nut-free: Omit almond extract, use a nut-free milk, and use sun butter or other seed butter in place of peanut butter.
Gluten-free: Ensure your oats are gluten-free.
