A rich and satisfying baked oatmeal recipe featuring double chocolate flavors, perfect for a cozy breakfast or dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-ounce ramekin or oven-safe dish.
Ensure the ramekin is well-greased to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, water, egg substitute, and vanilla extract.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Ensure all the oats are coated with the liquid mixture for even baking.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared ramekin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crispy.
Check for doneness by gently pressing the center; it should feel firm but not dry.
Let the baked oatmeal cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
