This is how I make Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal AT HOME MY WAY:
Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal (I halved this recipe, which I baked in a pie plate as below.)
CHOCOLATE CHIP BAKED OATMEAL
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs (slightly beaten) (just whites works fine or egg beaters)
- ½ cup margarine/butter or oil (I use canola oil)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup (or up to 1 cup) chocolate chips (semi sweet or dark)
CHOCOLATE CHIP BAKED OATMEAL - HALF BATCH - for baking in a pie plate or 8x8 square pan
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (dark or light)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (could also add pecans/walnuts/almonds)
- 1/4 cup (or up to 1/2 cup) chocolate chips (I use semi sweet or dark)
Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Mix oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl. In a separate dish (I used my 2-cup measurer), measure the milk to 1/2 cup. Add 1/4 cup of oil. Mix in the blended egg. Stir well to mix. Then add the liquid ingredients to the dry in the bowl. Stir well and add 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Pour into lightly oiled or sprayed (with cooking spray) pie pan or 8x8 square pan. I like to use a loaf pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
To serve, dip it out in a bowl and eat with a spoon or fork like you would coffee cake.
