Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted (or melted coconut oil for a dairy-free version)
- 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (or 1/2 cup almond flour for a gluten-free vibe; note: swap may affect texture slightly)
- 1/2 cup (45 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips or chunks (dark, milk, or half-and-half for variety)
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- Notes: If you want a more oat-forward bite, pulse 1/2 cup of oats in a blender to create oat flour and swap half of the flour with the oat flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until glossy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla until everything looks velvety.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Don’t overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine—this keeps the brownie texture tender.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to settle crumbs and create a smooth top.
- Bake 20–25 minutes. The center should look slightly underdone and a toothpick may come out with a few moist crumbs. For extra fudgy brownies, pull them out closer to 20 minutes; for a firmer bite, bake up to 25 minutes.
- Cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment. Cut into squares and devour with a glass of milk or a dollop of whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy.
Notes
