Well, Brian has done it again! He’s been experimenting in the kitchen a lot lately (especially with soups and stews) and he came up with what is now my favorite thing he’s ever made. If you’ve tried Brian’s “Super Tasty Vegan Chili” ( • Recipe: Brian's Super ... ), you already know that he knocked it out of the park with that one. But I think this one might be even better!
This one has a much shorter list of ingredients, but a few "weird" ones like cocoa powder and oat groats. You may or may not be familiar with oat groats. I first learned about these from Brittany Jaroudi (check out her video - • Oat Groats ), but we hadn’t tried them out until Brian came up with this recipe.
This recipe is truly the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of fall! It has such a rich, earthy flavor and the oat groats add a really nice bite. It honestly makes me so happy and just warms my soul. 😊

Brian, thank you for testing and sharing your recipes. I’ll definitely give this a try. Separately, I’m wondering if you still have and/or use the Ninja Air Fryer. I noted on Chef AJ you said the oven worked best for roasted potatoes. I’ve actually been talking myself out of buying an air fryer for months (not to mention I don’t have any remaining counter space). Dolores

Steel cut oats are oat groats that are roasted, and could be used in place of the oat groats, or use 1 or 2 cups cooked brown rice to make a complete protein (beans and rice).

I just made this! The addition of the chocolate totally makes this dish. I used whole wheat kernels instead of the oat groats (because that's what I had on hand) and I cooked this dish for over 2 hours so the wheat would cook. Next time, I will try soaking the wheat a bit before using. This is a winner, Brian!!

Hi there Jessica and Brian! I made your Chili and I agree that it is great tasting. I added a couple of things. I only had one can of Kidney beans, so I used one can of Garbanzo bean, which I love and used in my chili. And I add a Pasilla pepper, diced, which also goes in my chili! The Groats is one thing I'd never heard of! Thanks for you recipes and your Positive thoughts!🌺

Oat groats are a little specialised but in our local organic supermarket we have a section where you can buy grains which you can mill in the shop I just buy them without milling them rinse them and use the Jaroudi method for cooking. a nice alternative to rice or wheat groats or bulgar wheat.

Clearly, chili inspires a lot of passion and for GOOD reason. I have organized an "official" chili cook-off where I work since 2006. The varieties and competition is FIERCE among the Chili Chefs. There are 3 winners: 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place each with earning gift card prizes. The first year one of the winners brought a vegetarian chili. The chili was served in a steamed half of acorn squash! Tasty and lovely presentation. We've had more vegetarian and vegan entries since then. Bring it on!!

This looks delicious! Doesn't seem weird at all. Cocoa powder is an ingredient in mole and I often use a touch of cocoa powder and/or a splash of strong coffee into my chili. Also, adding grains or something to bulk up your chili is a great idea. Lots of folks I know use a bit of masa to bulk up their chili and thicken it, I usually throw a small handful of TVP into my chili to give it some little chewy bits as well. I'm not familiar with oat groats, but I do have steel cut oats in my pantry basically at all times.
