A cozy and energizing oatmeal bowl combining fudgy brownie bits with creamy chocolate oatmeal, perfect for breakfast or a snack during football season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 ¾ cups milk (420ml) – dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, soy)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (dark brown preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (28g)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (65g) – can substitute gluten-free flour
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (30g)
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (45g) – semi-sweet or dark
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sliced bananas, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 2 tablespoons softened butter and 2 tablespoons brown sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add ½ cup flour, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir in ¼ cup chocolate chips. The mixture should be crumbly but hold together when pressed.
  3. Drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the lined baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers still soft. Let cool completely.
  4. While brownie bits bake, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 ¾ cups milk, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook for 5-7 minutes until oats are tender and mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
  5. Spoon the warm chocolate oatmeal into a bowl. Top generously with cooled brownie bits and optional toppings like sliced bananas or chopped nuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use rolled oats for creamier texture; quick oats will be softer. Do not overbake brownie bits to keep them soft inside. Stir oatmeal frequently to prevent sticking. Add a splash more milk if oatmeal is too thick. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and use plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. Brownie bits can be baked ahead and stored at room temperature for up to a week.
