Description

These Double Chocolate Oatmeal Brownies offer a deliciously fudgy and moist treat with a rustic twist thanks to oat flour and rolled oats. Infused with rich unsweetened cacao, chocolate chips, and the natural tang of Greek yogurt, these brownies provide a tender crumb and a deeply chocolatey flavor without the heaviness of traditional butter-laden brownies. Perfect for those seeking a healthier dessert option that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.


Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (can substitute vanilla flavored)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (can substitute honey or agave)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cacao powder
  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift or add the unsweetened cacao powder, oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips evenly through the batter to ensure chocolatey pockets throughout the brownies.
  5. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolate boost.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 23 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Cool Completely: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Cooling allows the brownies to firm up and develop their rich, fudgy texture.
  8. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.

Notes

  • The texture is rustic and tender due to oat flour and rolled oats, which may cause slight crumbling but never dryness.
  • Greek yogurt keeps the brownies moist while reducing the need for excessive fats like butter or oil.
  • The brownies firm up as they cool, resulting in a classic fudgy texture that’s both soft and rich.
