Why You'll Want This Again
These brownies offer a healthier twist on a classic treat by using oatmeal and bananas. They are naturally sweetened and have a chewy texture that feels indulgent without being heavy. Plus, they provide extra fiber and nutrients compared to traditional brownies.
Kitchen Advice
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender and chewy.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; a few moist crumbs are perfect.

Directions
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan to keep the brownies from sticking. In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mash in the banana until it’s well mixed. Next, add the eggs, melted butter, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract, stirring everything together until the batter is nice and smooth. Pour this mixture into your prepared pan, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the top for an extra treat. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before slicing and enjoy!
