I found this recipe on Chocolate Covered Katie. It’s very versatile and I even made modifications to make this recipe below. It really does taste like chocolate chips in oatmeal, in shapes of cupcakes. They are really dense but perfect for breakfasts-on-the-go, and they are made with real ingredients. This would be a great healthy breakfast recipe option. You can also freeze leftovers for later.
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups quick oats
1/4 scoop of vanilla protein powder
5 small stevia packets
1/2 t. salt
1 T. flax seed
1 medium banana, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce (I used strawberry applesauce)
2 cups water
1/4 cup veg oil
*I added a small handful of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (or less… I love chocolate chips!)
Mix the first group of dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Then combine with the dry ingredients, then add the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
Fill cupcake tray with liners. Fill cupcake liners half way with batter.
Cake 20-25 minutes
