Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, stirring until evenly mixed.
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until the batter is combined without any dry spots.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, then transfer it into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top for a melty chocolate finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Top with optional peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts as desired and enjoy warm.
