🍫 Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup ChiChi Oats (original flavor) (60g)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (30g)
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (30g)
  • 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (50g)
  • 1/4 cup applesauce (60g)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (120ml)
  • 1 egg or flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Frosting:

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk
  • Sprinkles (for that classic cosmic touch ✨)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 360°F and line a small baking pan.
2️⃣ If not pre-ground, blend the ChiChi Oats into a fine flour. In a bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
3️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (applesauce, almond milk, egg, vanilla) and stir into the dry mixture. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.
4️⃣ Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
5️⃣ For the frosting, mix peanut butter, cocoa, and almond milk until smooth. Spread over the brownies and top with sprinkles.
6️⃣ Cut into 8 pieces and enjoy!

💡 Pro Tips

  • Want extra fudge factor? Add 2 tbsp melted dark chocolate to the batter.
  • Swap almond milk for oat or dairy milk based on your preference.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge—they get even fudgier overnight!
