Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.33 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped walnuts, ground flaxseed, sea salt, and baking powder. Mix until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and press it down firmly so the mixture is compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownie to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour. This step is important for the bars to set properly.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownie out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
