Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative (such as almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt, ensuring the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash 1 ripe banana until smooth. Stir in 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey to add moisture and sweetness.
  4. Combine and Add Chocolate Chips: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently stir until fully combined. Fold in 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips if desired, for gooey chocolate pockets.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter to the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top appears set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean, resulting in a fudgy yet fully cooked texture.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the brownie baked oats to cool slightly before serving. Cooling helps the flavors meld and makes slicing easier if using a larger dish.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep a tender texture.
  • Choose high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Metal ramekins distribute heat evenly, ideal for individual servings.
  • A pinch of salt enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
