Meal Prep Chocolate And Coconut Baked Oatmeal Recipes

MEAL PREP CHOCOLATE AND COCONUT BAKED OATMEAL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch oval or a 9-inch square baking dish with 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Alternatively, lightly grease ten 6-ounce ramekins with coconut oil.
• In a large bowl, stir together the oats, shredded coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips, hemp seeds, pepitas, cocoa powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, espresso powder, baking powder and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together both milks, the maple syrup, vanilla and remaining 1/4 cup coconut oil. Add to the dry ingredients and then stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish and push out to the sides but do not smooth out the top-this ensures a crispy, craggy crust. Alternatively, divide into the prepared ramekins and place on a sheet pan, for easy handling. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of chips.
• Bake until puffed and dark brown, 40 to 45 minutes in the baking dish or 15 to 20 minutes in the ramekins. Let cool slightly. If desired, top with coconut yogurt, coconut whipped cream and/or fresh berries before serving.
• The baked and cooled oatmeal can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 4 to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 to 3 months.
• Reheating instructions: Let thaw, if frozen, in the refrigerator overnight and up to 1 day, cover with foil and place in an oven preheated to 325 degrees F. Bake until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes in the baking dish or 10 to 15 minutes in one ramekin. Remove the foil toward the end of the baking time for a crispy top. If the oatmeal dries out too much during baking, add 1/4 to 3/4 cup of nondairy milk to soften it back up.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
• Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
• If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
• Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
• Remove cover, stir and serve.
• Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.
