Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oats quick or rolled (use gluten-free if needed)
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or another granulated sweetener of choice
- ¾ cup cocoa powder *
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee optional
Wet ingredients
- ¾ cup applesauce unsweetened
- ½ cup soy milk or any other kinds of milk
- ¼ cup cashew butter or another nut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, place in oats and blend until a flour-like consistency forms.
- Transfer oat flour to a large mixing bowl along with all the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Next, add in all wet ingredients until everything is well incorporated.
- Carefully pour brownie batter into the lined baking pan. Optionally, top with a handful of chocolate chips.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- After 10-15 minutes, remove brownies from the baking pan and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool down further, at least an hour.
- Once it is cooled down completely, slice them with a sharp non-serrated knife or plastic knife, and your oatmeal brownies are ready to be served!
Notes
*Cocoa powder - If possible, use higher quality ones like Ghirardelli cocoa or Cacao Barry Extra Brute. It does make a huge difference!
Storing - Leftover brownies can be refrigerated for a week or frozen for 3 months. Allow frozen brownies to thaw overnight in the fridge. You can reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.
