I’ve been trying to make the perfect homemade brownie for months, and I think I got it covered for ya. I’m not sure about you, but anytime I’ve looked online for a “healthy” brownie... they either contain beans or avocado - but the one thing that disturbed me is that they all use about 4 lbs of sugar. I’m not about that life, so here’s what I came up with...
• gluten free thanks to rolled oats (ground in a food processor into flour)
• dairy free with the use of clarified butter (ghee). Clarified butter can be found on supermarket shelves, not refrigerated. Butter is cooked slowly at a low heat which removes the lactose, making it easy to digest for intolerant and better for you!
• refined-sugar free brownie batter is sweetened naturally with coconut palm sugar
• I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips since they are allergen-friendly but you can use whichever you like

Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350° and grease an 8x8 baking pan with ghee. You can also use parchment to line.
Ground oats in a food processor until a fine powder, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine melted down ghee and coconut palm sugar. Mix well with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
Add cocoa powder and salt, mix until combined.
Add vanilla extract and eggs, mixing in one egg at a time.
Add the oat flour and baking soda to the mixture until no dry spots are visible and batter is smooth (do not over mix).
Fold in chocolate chips and spread evenly in the baking dish (the batter will be thick).
Bake in the middle rack of your oven for about 30-35-40 mins or until desired crispiness.
Allow to cool at least 15 mins before removing and cutting.
