Dark Chocolate Oat Flour Brownies

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 oz dark chocolate, chopped for melting
• 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 egg (size m/l)
• 1/4 cups maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cups fine oat flour (or thick oat flour)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 1/2 oz finely chopped dark chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9×9‑inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the dark chocolate with the oil in a heat‑proof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
3. Whisk the egg, maple syrup, and salt in a separate bowl until combined.
4. Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until evenly incorporated.
5. Sift the oat flour and baking powder over the batter, then gently stir until just mixed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
7. Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.
8. Bake for 18‑20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool the brownies completely in the pan before lifting them out.
10. Cut into 15 squares and serve.

Notes

The brownies keep well covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individually for longer storage.
