🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips, divided

  or chocolate chips of choice
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup oat flour*
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder
• ⅓ cup chocolate protein powder*
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup Greek yogurt, plain
• ½ cup maple syrup
• ½ tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper.
  Lightly coat the parchment paper with non-stick spray.
• 2 Place half a cup of chocolate chips and the olive oil in a microwave safe
  container. Microwave the chocolate and oil together in 20 second intervals until
  the chocolate is melted, stirring after each interval. Set aside to cool
  slightly.
• 3 In a large bowl measure and sift together the oat flour, cocoa powder, protein
  powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• 4 In a medium size bowl whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup,
  vanilla extract, and the melted chocolate.
• 5 Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix together until smooth. Stir in
  the remaining half a cup of chocolate chips.
• 6 Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle on additional
  chocolate chips if desired. Bake for 20-22 minutes. Brownies are done when the
  edges are set and the middle isn't quite set yet. Remove from oven and allow to
  cool completely in pan. The brownies will finish setting in the pan. Do not
  overbake.
• 7 Remove the brownies from the pan and cut into 12 rectangles. Enjoy!
