Ingredients And Substitutions

Both gluten-free old fashioned oats and regular oats work great for this recipe. I have not tested it with quick oats.

Cacao powder for that deep, rich chocolate flavor.

Ground flax for an added boost of fiber and protein. You can omit if you don’t have it on hand.

Maple syrup for a bit of all natural sweetness. You can also use honey, agave or date syrup.

Almond butter or cashew butter work the best for this recipe. However if you want to make them nut free, then opt for sunflower seed butter or oat butter. 

You can’t have brownies without chocolate chips!
