There aren’t many breakfasts that can make me swoon. Not many healthy ones in any case. Oatmeal? Good, but where is the cake. Eggs? Decent, but plz bring me some pie. Greek yogurt? Meh. The only thing going through my head… is my pie here yet?
But this. This is something special. This is the sort of healthy breakfast that makes you feel like you’re biting into a giant chocolate chip oat cookie. I busted out this recipe on a whim as an adaptation to my Baked Honey Berry Oat recipe (which has rave reviews) early Monday morning, and it was gone within an hour. I didn’t even get a chance to photograph it the firs time around since the girls and I stood around the just-out-of-the-oven pan fighting over bites. The combination of the warm and comforting spiced oats coupled with melty-chocolate chips covering the top is absolutely divine and doesn’t leave my sweet-tooth wanting. Add in a freshly brewed cup of coffee to sip on and you are in h-e-a-v-e-n!
One thing I love about this recipe is how customizable it is. You are in total control and can’t really go wrong with the base recipe. Feel free to add in special touches like nuts (walnuts in here would be fantastic), coconut flakes, dried fruit, etc. The world is your oyster!
This recipe clocks in at just under 250 calorie per 1/6th of the pan (aka a huge slice).
New favorite breakfast? I think yeeeesss.
Do you mind if I fly to you? I’ll even bring my own fork so I can just sit there & eat it straight out of the oven
Not at all 😉 ! We can sit and much with an ocean view together… doesn’t get much better than that!
I’m reading this as I’m eating a hard boiled egg… ugh, so lame. This looks so much better!
Hahah I may be going out on a limb here, but I think chocolate chip cookies trump hadr-boiled eggs ;). Wish I could send you a slice!
Yum to the max!! I’ve made baked oatmeal before and while it’s one of my personal favorites, your recipe is basically a thousand times better then mine lol. Makin this next week 😀
Isn’t it just deeeelicious :)? Try it! You’ll love it!
DEAR SWEET BABY JESUS WOMAN where do you come up with these things? I am basically salivating all over my laptop right now whilst crying that I have no access to an oven. How ’bout you just hop on a plane up to BC and bring me some, okay?
Ooohh my goodness I am swooning hard over these right now. There is actually nothing I love more than oats and chocolate chips combined with CINNAMON. Need this in my liiife. And your food photos are just rocking as always!!
😯 😯 😯 Swooning ridiculously hard right now… I mean, oatmeal? Chocolate? COOKIES?!? I’m gonna have to argue about the serving size, though — I’m pretty sure I could eat the entire pan in a sitting or two 😉
OOOOOH YEA! You had me at cookie!
This reminds me of the chocolate chip granola bars I used to eat in college. Only this looks waaaaaay better. xoxo
Super impressed at the calorie count there! I’m supportive of any recipe that allows me to justify eating cookies for breakfast 😉
I’ve been going through a baked oatmeal phase recently. So perfect to warm up after a cool fall run with a cup of coffee! Making this next week!
eeeekkk! These look fantastic! I hope I get the chance to whip these up later this week!
Ummm can we discuss you sending me a slice of this for breakie?? It looks absolutely amaziiiing!! And I love that a serving size is 1/6th of the pan! Pinned
Ohmygoose yes. H-E-A-V-E-N right there! I can practically conjure up the mix of textures and flavours (alongside the coffee of course!) on my tongue. Let’s hope I can actually be bothered to photograph and share when I do make it – but wow, this is winner *fistbump* 😀 .
This looks to goo to be healthy! Beautiful as always my dear!!!
Oh my! Can I please have one of these while catching up? Missed your blog tons! It’s crazy, but being out of food-blog-world for a few months, makes me want to check on each and every friend and ask how’s life? lets grab a coffee! tell me everything!
CHRISTINE. Oh my gosh. I wish I wouldn’t have already eaten breakfast. Oatmeal bakes are the best! I make one that’s pretty similar to this one… I just add some banana and blueberries for a fruity one! Awesome pics, too!! 😉
Oh my gosh this looks absolutely amazing. This will be my new go to breakfast! Thanks
yep i am TOTALLY making this!!
thank you thank you!
loved finding your blog tonight. will definitely follow along!
Thanks for the great post! I made this today and yes it is a new favorite breakfast! You pointed out it was customizable so I used dark chocolate chips and it was fabulous!
Awesome! So happy to hear that you liked it :).
