Meet Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal's cousin: Dark Chocolate Baked Oatmeal. Classic oats, sweetened with cocoa powder and real sugar and baked to perfection for the perfect, healthy filling breakfast. Dark chocolate baked oatmeal also makes a healthy snack or dessert when you're looking for something extra sweet. My sugar-loving husband gave this one two-thumbs up.
