Please read my disclosure policy. Soft and chewy baked oatmeal flavored to taste like an oatmeal chocolate-chip cookie. This baked oatmeal is so delicious. It’s like having a thick and chewy oatmeal cookie for breakfast – soft, chewy, and filled to the brim with flavor! All the flavors you know and love from oatmeal cookies transformed into a healthier baked oatmeal with not too many ingredients. To make it a little healthier I’m using almond milk and coconut oil as opposed to most breakfast baked oatmeals that call for whole milk or butter. Basically any milk or butter will work in this recipe, but if you want it to be healthier, the coconut oil and/or almond milk are great choices. With coconut oil instead of butter these tend to be more crumbly until they’ve been thoroughly chilled. Since this baked oatmeal is best hot though, serve this in bowls and don’t worry if they crumble a bit! Our favorite way to serve this is cutting out a piece, putting it in a bowl, and pouring some milk over it all – divine!!To get a real oatmeal “chocolate-chip cookie” flavor, I use miniature chocolate chips. By using mini chips, they are spread throughout every single bite and you get a good bit of chocolate in every bite. Regular-sized chips will work, but we like miniature best! And if you want to forgo the chips entirely, that is just fine too. You can also replace them with some fresh berries, raisins or craisins! Enjoy! FOLLOW ALONG!

Ok seriously keep these breakfast recipes coming! I love eating dessert for breakfast, so if I can trick my brain into thinking I’m eating dessert because its so yummy, yet healthy at the same time?? Sold! I’ll never have to settle on a granola bar ever again! Reply
Chelsea, these are healthy enough for breakfast in my book, and I can’t wait to try these! They look so thick and delicious! Reply
Made this recipe this morning and I’ve got to say – WOW! Very good, but it is VERY rich! I even used almond milk…I can’t imagine using regular milk! Also, for my family, I think less chocolate chips and a little less brown sugar (which is surprising because we all have a major sweet tooth) BUT we will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing! Reply
These are so delicious! I have always loved oats with chocolate and have been looking for a new recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone! Reply
This really is the most delicious recipe that I have found for baked oatmeal! It’s my go to. I love pumpkin chocolate chip things too. How could I make this into a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie baked oatmeal? Reply
Yay!! That makes my day to hear that 🙂 Thank you! I’m not completely sure how to recommend turning it into pumpkin without personally testing it, but I think you could replace the oil with pumpkin and then add a few teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and maybe a teaspoon of cinnamon 🙂 Reply
