Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal

Confession: when I buy a bag of chocolate chips, they’re usually gone within a week or two. That’s why I will go such long stretches without chocolate chip recipes. If I had a bag in my kitchen all the time, I would go through about six a month. I just can’t keep my hands out of them!

So you can imagine my surprise the other day when I was digging for something in my cupboard and found the final few tablespoons of chocolate chips in a forgotten bag stuffed in the back. Since I had some mashed sweet potato prepared for oatmeal meal prep left in the fridge, I set to work on this recipe.

(You know, before I just ate the rest of the chocolate by the handful.)

I learned from my Sweet Potato Oatmeal & Chocolate PB2 recipe that chocolate and sweet potatoes are an oddly satisfying combination. Once again, this duo did not disappoint.

Obviously, you could top this with chocolate PB2, PB&Company Dark Chocolate Dreams, Nutella, etc. If you’re really feeling ambitious, you could try it with Chocolate Hazelnut PB2Faux-reo Cookie PB2, Salted Fudge PB2, or even Salted Pretzel PB2.
