How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Baked Oats

Making this delicious and healthy dessert for breakfast is quick and easy. You’ll be in and out of the kitchen in just about 30 minutes!

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, spray a ramekin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Blend all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a mini chopper, food processor, or high-speed blender.
3. Blend until almost smooth but with a little texture from the oats.
4. Pour half the batter into the prepared ramekin. Then, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips over it, along with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Then, pour in the remaining batter and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is slightly domed. The inside should be gooey in the center and cakey around the edges. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes and enjoy!
