Ingredients
  

  • 1 overripe banana mashed
  • 1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp of water
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp coconut oil melted
  • ½ cup oat flour see notes below
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup protein powder
  • 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips plus extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Make your flax egg by combining 1 tbsp of ground flax with 3 tbsp of water. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes.
  • If you are making your own oat flour, place about ¾ cups of whole old fashioned rolled oats into a food processor or blender and pulse until the oats are 75% ground.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a a bread pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash your banana until it is completely flattened.
  • Add the wet ingredients (flax egg, maple syrup, plant based milk, coconut oil) and the dry ingredients (oat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda + baking powder, and protein powder) into the bowl with the mashed banana and mix until it is completely combined. It will be slightly thick.
  • Once well mixed, fold in dark chocolate chips. Your mixture will be thick and smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the bread pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula or your hand to push the batter down into the bread pan so it is an even layer. Option to sprinkle extra chocolate chips and sea salt on top for extra flavor.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. This brownie will not look fully baked when you remove it, but it will firm up. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before cooling.
  • Enjoy immediately or store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

STORAGE + REHEATING
If you enjoy your brownies on the warmer side, gently heat the brownies for 10 seconds in the microwave. Be careful though - the chocolate chips can easily melt. They are also amazing with some sugar-free whip cream on top!
These dairy free brownies will store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Store them in a cool, dry place. If your kitchen or pantry runs warm, place them in the fridge.  I have not tried freezing the batter or the brownies yet, so I cannot recommend it.
