    • Chocolate Baked Oats (No Banana No eggs!)

    Ingredients

    See the Recipe card for exact ratio of ingredients.

    ingredients for chocolate baked oats no eggs no banana
    • Oats- I have used Bagrry's Oats in this recipe. You may use any good-quality rolled oats. This brand is a gluten-free brand. Though the same facilities process wheat as well, there is a possibility of mixing. It is advised to read the label of the brand carefully. You may use steel cut oats too.
    • Cocoa Powder- Any good brand works well. I have used Cadbury's cocoa powder. One may also use melted chocolate or dark chocolate.
    • Organic Jaggery Powder- Though the calories of sugar and powdered jaggery (Shakkar) is the same, jaggery is not just empty calories.
    • Almonds- Chopped almonds work great. you may use pecans, pistachios, or walnuts.
    • Apple- Fresh fruit like Red and juicy apples, ripe banana, peach work best. You may use the local produce.
    • Cinnamon Powder- Enhances the aroma of this baked oatmeal. You may use cardamom powder too.
    • Ghee-I avoided the use of butter in this recipe and used desi ghee. This is not the first time I have used desi ghee in baking. My popular desi ghee baked recipe is of Whole Wheat Apple Coffee Cobbler.
    • Milk- This recipe uses fat-free dairy milk and for making vegan oats, you may use dairy-free milk- almond milk or oat milk. The texture of vegan milk tends to be thick. You may have to adjust the consistency accordingly.

    Detailed Recipe With Steps

    Step 1 Mix Jaggery with Ghee and Milk

    In a large mixing bowl, mix powdered jaggery with Desi Ghee and a little milk. Use a food processor, blender, or spatula. Mix well. Add cocoa powder and mix well. Add oats, chopped almonds, and cinnamon powder. Adjust milk to have a flowing consistency batter. Let the oat mixture rest for 5 minutes.

    For best results, mix wet ingredients and gradually add dry ingredients. Add more milk as needed.

    Variations

    • Vegan Baked Oatmeal- The vegan version needs asimple swap of dairy milk to coconut milk or soy milk would make this recipe vegan.
    • Make it like a Cake- Use the powdered oats or dry grind the oats and the same recipe would bake a delicious chocolate oats cake.
    • Add another Ingredient- For chocolate lovers, feel free to add more chocolate or dark chocolate chips to have an amazing taste!

    FAQs

    Can you put egg in baked oats?

    Yes, eggs add great volume and texture to the baked oats along with the richness of protein. Though this recipe of oats doesn't have eggs.

    Why are my baked oats soggy?

    Baked oats may be soggy if you had pre-soaked them before baking. Oats can be used without soaking as they easily get mixed with milk or any liquid. The other reason may be the milk added is too much or they are baked for less time.

    Storage Suggestions

    The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container with a lid in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. You may freeze it for a week.

    For serving the stored oats, reheat in an oven for about 5-10 min or in a heavy pan on stove top till warm.

    The frozen oats may be thawed before heating.

    Expert Tips

    • The oats tend to absorb milk. Add milk gradually for the right consistency and bake it immediately or the oats may turn out to be dry. 
    • I have used dry oats and not-soaked ones. Soaked oats may turn out to be soggy. They easily mix up with the milk/ liquid, so I don't think soaking is necessary.
    • Don't overbake or the oats will be chewy and the underbake would not let milk be absorbed, so they will be soggy.
    • The baked oats won't be very sweet. I suggest increasing the amount of jaggery if you like more sweetness, or you may mix jaggery and white sugar.

    Stories From Kitchen

    This recipe was inspired by my own apple Cobbler recipe. Seeing the success of the Apple cobbler at home, I wondered how to create a new recipe with apples. Then I saw the pack of oats, which I was serving with plain milk to my father-in-law, and it clicked: Why not use oats with apples this time? It was a quick recipe that was a hit in the family!
