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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownie out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
