Chocolate Brownie Oat Bars

A quick easy breakfast to prep before a busy week. Super Chocolatey, and Kid Approved.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 45 MinTotal time: 55 Min

Ingredients

• 3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
• 1/2 cup Oat Flour
• 1/2 cup Collagen Powder or Chocolate Protein Powder
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (1/4 cup if using Chocolate Protein Powder)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
• 1/2 cup mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Line an 8x8, or equivalent sized baking dish with parchment paper or coat in oil.
3. Combine dry ingredients, oats, oat flour, collagen powder/protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, in a large bowl and mix well.
4. Mix in wet ingredients. The batter will be quite soupy but the oats will absorb the extra moisture as it bakes.
5. Add the chocolate chips in last. If you don't have mini chocolate chips, you can chop up some regular sized chocolate chips.
6. Pour into the prepared baking dish and place in oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
7. Let cool once cooked. Cut and store in an air tight container in the fridge. It should last a week in the fridge, but ours is always eaten before the week is up.

Notes

If using a chocolate protein powder, I would omit 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup of sugar as to not make them too sweet.
