Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 tbsp water, mixed and let sit for 5 minutes.
1/4 cup mashed avocado
1/2 cup soy milk unsweetenend
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F or 190 C. Whisk your dry ingredients in a medium bowl: combine oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
1 cup old-fashioned oats, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt
In a separate bowl combine your wet ingredients: non-dairy milk, maple syrup, mashed avocado, peanut butter and flax egg.
1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 flax egg, 1/2 cup soy milk, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, 1/4 cup mashed avocado
Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix brownie batter until combined. Fold in vegan chocolate chips.
1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
In a greased 9x9 pan (or parchment-lined) pour brownie batter into pan. Optional: Add a few more chocolate chips on top if you like it extra chocolatey. Bake for 20-22 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into 4 large squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions/Variations:

Instead of peanut butter use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter for a nut-free version.
Instead of a flax egg you can use chia egg (just combine 1 tbsp chia seeds with 2 tbsp water)
Use mashed banana instead of avocado.

Storage:

Store individual bars in airtight container for up to 5 days or simply cover the pan with plastic wrap. You can freeze this too for up to 3 months by storing in a freezer-safe container (glass works well).

Tips:

- Make sure your avocado is well mashed with minimal lumps- you don't want avocado chunks in your brownie baked oats!
- If you like it extra chocolatey, consider adding a few more chocolate chips on top before it bakes

- This vegan brownie baked oatmeal tastes amazing with a dollop of yogurt on top (kinda like brownie + ice cream combo)

- You can cut this into 9 squares if you prefer smaller sized bars.
