Instructions
-
Prepare the Oats:
Start by dry roasting the gluten-free instant oats in a pan over low heat for about 2 minutes. Allow them to cool for 3-4 minutes before grinding them into a fine powder using a high-speed mixer. You will need 1/2 cup of this powdered oats flour. -
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a brownie pan with parchment paper, or if using aluminum foil, grease it with a cooking spray to prevent sticking. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
Sift the powdered oats flour into a bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt, then mix them together until well-combined. -
Prepare Flax Seed Mixture:
In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork. In a separate bowl, mix the flaxseed powder with 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water. Stir until the mixture becomes frothy and set it aside. -
Blend Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and extra virgin olive oil. Add the flaxseed mixture to the bowl and beat it using an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. -
Add Flavorings and Bananas:
Stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder at a low speed. Once mixed, fold in the mashed banana and the prepared oats flour. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter. -
Incorporate Walnuts and Chocolate Chips:
Gently stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. -
Prepare the Baking Pan:
Grease the brownie pan and dust it lightly with flour, tapping off any excess. -
Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The brownies are ready when the edges are visibly set and the center no longer wiggles when you gently shake the pan. A sign of fully baked brownies is a crack forming on the top with a shiny finish. -
Cool and Serve:
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled (this will take about an hour), slice them into neat squares. -
Storage and Serving Suggestions:
Store the brownies in an airtight container. These Eggless & Gluten-Free Oats Banana Brownies are delicious on their own but can also be served with a hot cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. For a special dessert, serve them with a warm chocolate ganache drizzle.
These brownies are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sticking to a healthier, eggless, and gluten-free option. Perfect for those on a vegetarian diet or anyone simply looking for a deliciously wholesome dessert, these brownies promise to be a hit at your next gathering. Whether paired with a hot drink or enjoyed as an after-dinner treat, they’re sure to impress!
