1 Coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set it aside.
2 Mash the bananas with a fork in a large bowl. You should have about 1 cup.
3 Add the oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, espresso powder, if using, baking powder, and salt, and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula to combine.
4 Add the almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla, and stir to combine. Stir in half of the chocolate.
5 Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spread it out evenly, and top with the remaining chocolate. Bake until the oatmeal is puffed, set, and the edges start to pull away from the baking pan, 30 to 35 minutes.
6 Let the oatmeal cool for 10 minutes on your kitchen counter. Top with flaky sea salt, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature. The oatmeal will be very creamy and scoopable when warm. As it cools, it will become firmer and sliceable. How you enjoy it is entirely up to you! Did you love the recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
