Tips From The Kitchen
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate taste.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

What Makes This Recipe So Great
These brownies are a delicious way to start your day with a bit of sweetness and a boost of energy. They combine rich chocolate flavor with a soft, chewy texture that feels indulgent yet comforting. Perfect for mornings when you want something special but easy to make.
Directions
Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x10-inch baking pan. In a bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, flax seed meal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, mix together the banana, rice milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir everything just until it’s combined. Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, cover the pan with a towel to keep the brownies moist, and let them cool for at least five minutes before digging in.
