Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1/3 cup of Dutch processed cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the dry blend and stir until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, then transfer the mixture to your prepared baking pan, smoothing the top.
