Oatmeal Fudge Brownies Recipe: No Eggs, Butter or Flour (9 Ingredients) by 30Seconds Food

Brownies. They are one sweet that's hard to stay away from. We've been cooking a lot more with rolled oats because of the health benefits of oats, so we were super excited to find this recipe for oatmeal brownies. Ooey, gooey brownies that are made with chocolate, rolled oats and peanut butter? Sign us up! This chocolate oatmeal brownie recipe is delish.

This brownie recipe doesn't use eggs, butter or flour. And if you use plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate chips, it's vegan, too. This may become your new favorite brownie recipe.

The easy oatmeal brownies are made with peanut butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, rolled oats, cocoa powder (read about the health benefits of cocoa powder), ground flaxseed (optional, but flax seeds have health benefits), baking soda and chocolate chips. The ingredients are mixed together and baked in a square baking dish for about 40 minutes. You can top these brownies with extra chocolate chips before baking. (Why not?)
