Fudge Oatmeal Brownies Recipe (No Eggs, No Butter & No Flour) Desserts Snacks Low Sodium Recipes Gluten-free Vegan

Brownies. They are one sweet that's hard to stay away from. I've been cooking a lot more with rolled oats because of the health benefits of oats, so I was super excited to find this recipe for oatmeal brownies. Ooey, gooey brownies that are made with chocolate, rolled oats and peanut butter? Sign me 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, ground flaxseed (optional, but it's a healthy ingredient), 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?)

Serve these brownies for dessert, as a sweet snack. Or even – dare I say it? – breakfast. Again, why not?

2. Add the milk, salt and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Add the oats, cocoa powder, flax seeds and baking powder. Mix until combined. If you don't have flax seeds, leave them out. For gluten-free brownies, make sure your oats are gluten-free.
