Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ¼ cup cocoa powder, or cacao powder
- 2 Tablespoons monkfruit, optional
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder, optional
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups 2% milk, or use a plant-based milk, such as soy or almond

Instructions Start Cooking
- Wash hands thoroughly before beginning to bake.
- Set oven to 350 F, and grease an 8"x 8" square baking pan.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- In a large spouted bowl or measuring cup (at least 4-cup), whisk together all the wet ingredients until slightly foamy and thoroughly mixed.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir just until there are no more dry spots.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven. Check after 35 minutes. If the mixture does not wobble in the middle, the brownie-baked oats can be removed to cool on a rack.They should still be soft and chewy at this point. For firmer baked oatmeal, leave the dish in the oven for another five to 10 minutes.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting or serving.
- The cooled baked oats stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.Warm in the microwave for melty chocolate chips!
