Sweet Potato Brownie Baked Oatmeal (Revisited)

I just wanted to get my reworked version out before actual Thanksgiving. The reason behind my changes are that after making my Chocolate Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal I realised that my brownie wasn't as dense and fudgy as I could get it.

Really, this is too much for breakfast. In the way that there is a lot of chocolate. But I wouldn't hesitate to have it again. It could easier be a single serve dessert to be enjoyed with ice cream. Though it didn't have the same outcome as my pie recipe, it was still amazing. I love both of my Sweet Potato Brownie recipes so choose the one you like the sound of more, or try both and let me know which you think is superior.

Sweet Potato Brownie Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup/45g Rolled Oats
Pinch of Salt
1/4 Tsp Baking powder
1-2 Tsp Cocoa powder
30g Plain chocolate, chips or chopped up bar
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tsp Maple syrup or sweetener of choice
1/3 Cup/150g Sweet potato, mashed/purreed
1/3 Cup/180ml Milk of choice

Optional: Handful of chocolate chips

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 350F/180C/Gas Mark 4. Grease a dish or ramekin.
2. Mix the oats, salt, baking powder and cocoa in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Microwave the chocolate on 20 second blasts till melted and smooth. Make sure the potato is thoroughly mashed and smooth. Add to the oat mixture, then add the chocolate and stir. Add the vanilla and sweetener, stir. Add the milk bit by bit till the mixture is well combined and all brown. It will be thick, like brownie batter, you want it wet but not sloppy.
4. Add chocolate chips/nuts/whatever you want and pour into your prepared dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set enough for you. I left mine fudgy. Top with anything you want like nut butters etc, or leave plain and devour!
