CHOCOLATE BAKED OATS

Steps:

• *I like the gooey center, but if you want it cooked evenly instead, use a wide and shallow baking dish (such as a 7x5) instead of a ramekin.If using an oven, preheat to 350 F. Stir all ingredients, blend if you wish, and pour 2/3 of the mixture into an oven-safe dish. Add the filling if using, then top with remaining mixture. (Watch the step-by-step recipe video above.) Bake 25 minutes, or microwave 1-2 minutes. Add any toppings if desired.View Nutrition Facts
