Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups milk (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch (or similar sized) baking dish.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts if using, reserving a handful of chocolate chips for topping.

          Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top. If you want to add some peanut butter or almond butter, you can drizzle it over the top.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly firm but still moist.

              Cool and Serve: Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, and enjoy it as is or with a scoop of yogurt or a drizzle of milk.
