Raspberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

This Raspberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal is the breakfast recipe you need when cooking for a crowd. It’s a great source of protein and fibre, plus delicious flavour with the combination of raspberry and chocolate. Bake it for a group to enjoy or prepare a batch for yourself when you have a busy week ahead!

This recipe originated from one that my university roommates and I would make on special occasions. I have vivid memories of waking up on my birthday, walking down the stairs and being welcomed with the incredible smell of this scrumptious baked oatmeal. How lucky was I?!

 

Fast forward to today and I have adapted the recipe to make it more my style. I have added in some extra protein and switched up the flavours but the final outcome still feels nostalgic to me.

 

If you have a slower morning or a weekend brunch planned and want to bake something special, this is the way to go!

Ingredients Needed

The ingredients you need for this Raspberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal, including possible substitutions, are:

 

• Quick oats
  • I recommend quick oats instead of large flake oats because they create a better texture and don’t crumble as much.
• Raspberries
  • You can use fresh or frozen raspberries.
• Milk
  • I used soy milk in this recipe but dairy, almond or oat milk would all work equally well.
• Plain Greek yogurt
  • The Greek yogurt adds a great source of protein and keeps the baked oatmeal nice and moist.
• Eggs
• Brown sugar
• Chocolate chips
• Vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, salt

How to Make Raspberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

If you plan to prepare it right away, instead of prepping some of the ingredients the night before, here is what you need to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare an 8”x8” baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the milk, Greek yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Set aside.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
4. Fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips.
5. Pour this into a prepared dish and make sure it spreads out evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into it and serving.

If you plan on being short on time in the morning, you can prepare the two components of the batter the night before. Just be sure to keep the wet and dry ingredients separate to ensure the oats don’t soak up the wet ingredients overnight. Alternatively, you can bake the whole dish and keep it in the fridge for leftovers that can be eaten either warm or cold! It’s tasty any way you slice it- now that’s the breakfast I’m into.
