Peppermint Mocha Baked Oats

Peppermint chocolate baked oats with a creamy white chocolate filling. Inspired by Starbucks’s peppermint mocha holiday drink, you gotta try this recipe this holiday season!

I love having baked oats for breakfast, and of course, I had to create a Christmas themed one. This peppermint mocha baked oats is chocolatey, minty, has a hint of coffee flavour, and filled with a creamy molten lava white chocolate centre.

Try this for breakfast (or for dessert) this holiday season.

Ingredients

Baked Oats:

• 1/3 cup oat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder 
• 1 tsp instant coffee powder (I used espresso)
• 80ml (1/3 cup) almond milk
• 1 tsp maple syrup 
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

Filling:

• White chocolate pieces

Topping:

• Crushed candy canes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Stir together the baked oats dry ingredients in a ramekin. Add the wet ingredients to the ramekin and whisk until it’s well combined. Place the white chocolate in the centre and use a fork to cover the chocolate with the batter on the sides. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes on top.
3. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
