What ingredients do I need to make these double chocolate brownies?
If you want to make these brownies, here’s what you’ll need!
- oat flour
- cocoa powder
- salt
- baking powder
- water or dairy free milk
- pure vanilla extract
- coconut oil (or olive oil)
- almond butter (or other nut butter of choice)

What if I have a nut or coconut allergy?
If you have a nut allergy you can substitute the nut butter with a seed butter (like sunflower seed butter or sesame seed butter). If you’re allergic to coconut, you can substitute the coconut oil with olive oil or vegan butter.

If you don’t have almond butter or you don’t prefer to use it, you can use another nut butter of choice like peanut or cashew butter (I recommend Vör cashew butter).
What kind of chocolate chips should I use?

- Dairy Free and Refined Sugar Free: If you’re looking for chocolate chips that are dairy free and refined sugar free, I would recommend Hu Kitchen dairy free chocolate chips (they’re sweetened only with dates!).
- Dairy Free & Sugar Free: If you’re looking for dairy free chocolate chips that are also sugar free, I would recommend Lily’s stevia sweetened dark chocolate chips. They’re sweetened with stevia!

I recommend storing these brownies in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can also store them in the freezer for 2-3 months.
