Whether you’re a chocoholic and looking for something healthier than your store-bought brownies or you’re looking for a new, tasty way to eat oats, these ‘Breakfast Oat Brownies’ will be a great addition to your kitchen. Plus they’re great for lunchboxes!
These ‘Breakfast Oat Brownies’ can be easily sliced, kept in the fridge for a few days, popped into kids – and adult – lunch boxes and are a great way to enjoy a chocolatey snack that’s also healthy. They’re not that sweet (intentionally), so you may want to add more maple syrup or honey if you prefer sweeter treats or if you’re slowly weaning off sweeter items.
