Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe Bananas
- ¾ cup Instant Oats (Oatmeal), powdered
- ¾ tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Baking soda
- ½ cup Brown Sugar (Demerara Sugar)
- 1 tbsp Flax seed powder (flax meal)
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Walnuts , chopped
- 3 tbsp Chocolate chips
- 5 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- ⅛ tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Dry roast the rolled oats in a pan on low heat for two minutes. Cool for 3-4 minutes and then grind it in a mixer at high speed into a fine powder.
- Preheat Oven to 350F or 180 degrees Celsius. Line a brownie pan with parchment paper or if using an aluminium foil, grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Sieve the powdered oats flour and measure ½ cup. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt into the fine oats flour and mix it evenly.
- Mash the banana in a bowl using a fork. Add the flaxseed meal in about 3 tbsp of lukewarm water. Stir and mix till it is frothy.
- In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil and the flax seed mixture using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and cocoa powder and beat it at low speed till you get a smooth and creamy mixture. Do not over beat.
- Add mashed bananas and flour into the bowl.
- Add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips into it. Stir and mix well so the oats flour is well incorporated.
- Grease the baking pan and dust with flour. Tap off the excess flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. When done, the edges of the brownies will be visibly baked through and the center will be set (that is, not wiggly) when you shake the pan.
- Try to look for the first sign of cracking on the brownie’s top—which should be shiny and set which means that the brownies are cooked and then pull them out.
- Cool down the brownies completely in the pan on a wire. After the brownies are completely cooled, after an hour, cut them into neat squares.
