Peanut Butter Chocolate Baked Oatmeal (aka Breakfast Brownies)

I love these baked oats! They satisfy the chocolate craving if/as needed but also provide good fibre and protein.* I cut them into 9 servings. Breakfast for over a week! Thanks to the Munchin' With Maddie blog. 

Peanut Butter Chocolate Baked Oatmeal

1 cup overripe mashed banana (about two large bananas)

½ cup crunchy all-natural peanut butter

2 large eggs

¾ cup unsweetened almond milk

2 tbsp maple syrup

1/4 cup coffee (leftover from breakfast)

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup unflavored collagen peptides

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

½ cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9×9" baking dish.

Whisk together mashed banana, peanut butter, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and coffee.

Add in cocoa powder and collagen, whisk and let dissolve.

Add in remaining ingredients – oats, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Stir until combined.

Pour into the prepared baking dish and smooth with a spatula. Bake for about 40 minutes.

Let cool completely before cutting into 9 pieces. Will keep in the refrigerator for over a week. Haven't tried freezing it yet!

* Especially if you add the collagen peptides, but they are optional and leaving them out won't change the recipe.
