Chocolate Lava Baked Oats

Is it breakfast? Is it dessert? I’m not sure that I even care because these rich, chocolatey, lava-centred baked oats are a whole vibe.

Made using only a handful of staple ingredients you probably already have lying around, you can satisfy your sweet tooth in less than twenty minutes and without leaving the house!

Note:

This recipe uses protein powder but you can leave it out if you'd prefer. If you do, you might want to add in some extra cocoa powder and sweetener.
