Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup vegan butter melted
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp almond milk (unsweetened)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup oat flour
3/4 cup coconut sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 tbsp brewers yeast
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350F/175C. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil, or oil of choice.
In a large mixing bowl add your wet ingredients: melted vegan butter, almond milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl add the oat flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, ground flaxseeds, brewers yeast, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix to combine.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Then sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and fold to combine. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips (reserving 2 tablespoons for topping).
Pour the brownie batter into the baking dish and smooth with a spatula to even. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.
*For best taste and texture, let these brownies cool completely before slicing. They are fragile when warm!*

Notes

These brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Cut into in individual squares and store in the freezer in an air-tight container. Let thaw overnight in the fridge, or at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.

Lactation brownies will keep for up to 1 week. Store in the fridge in an air tight container.

Since these brownies are made with mostly oat flour, they are a bit more crumbly than traditional brownies. Therefore, having them chilled helps to bind them a little more to reduce crumbliness.
