Notes

Additional Notes:

We recommend using grass-fed organic unsalted butter, but if you don't have it readily available any butter you have on hand will work. Or, substitute the butter for 1 teaspoon of butter extract.
Try toasting the walnuts to give them a bit of an extra crunch!
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Feel free to serve your chocolate baked oatmeal with additional toppings like various nuts, unsweetened coconut flakes, dried fruit, peanut butter, and even whipped cream.
