Oat Flour Brownies
Oat Flour Brownies offer a moist and chocolatey treat using oat flour and cocoa powder combined with eggs, avocado oil, maple syrup, and applesauce. The texture is tender and fudgy thanks to the combination of oils and natural sweeteners. Chocolate chips folded inside add bursts of melted chocolate, making these brownies a rich choice for a snack or dessert that uses oat flour as the base.

- ½ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened

Instructions

- Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until brownies are set in the center and a toothpick comes out clean.
