Ingredients

To make these low calorie brownie baked oats you will need:

• Oats – I used regular porridge oats for this recipe but you can use any oats you would like to make these low calorie brownie baked oats.
• Full-fat yogurt – This recipe calls for full-fat yogurt rather than low-fat or 0% fat yogurt. This recipe contains very little fat so the yogurt works perfectly to add a little fat and give that fudgy brownie texture! For a vegan alternative, opt for vegan yogurt.
• Stevia – Any 0 calorie sweetener can be used for this recipe but stevia is my personal fave!
• Unsweetened cocoa powder – To get that dark, rich and ultra chocolaty flavor, opt for unsweetened cocoa powder. It is low in calories and adds a delicious rich chocolate flavor.
• Unsweetened almond milk – You can use any milk of your choosing but unsweetened almond milk contains the fewest amount of calories making it perfect for this recipe.
• Baking powder – To help the low calorie brownie baked oats rise.
• Vanilla extract – No baked recipe is complete without a dash of vanilla extract!
• White chocolate chips – I used regular white chocolate chips for this recipe but you can use dark, milk or sugar-free chocolate chips. Use vegan chocolate chips for a vegan alternative.
• Salt (optional) – A sprinkle of salt to really bring out that chocolate flavor!

How to make low calorie brownie baked oats

1. Place all of the ingredients apart from the chocolate chips into a blender. Blend on high until smooth and well combined.

3. Allow the baked oats a few minutes to cool before digging in, enjoy!

FAQ’s

Can I use oat flour instead of oats?

You definitely can use oat flour instead of oats for this recipe. Use an equal amount of oat flour and skip the blending. Instead, mix everything together in a medium bowl before transferring to an oven-safe dish. Bake according to the recipe.

Can I microwave this recipe?

Yes! This recipe can be made in the microwave which cuts down the baking time by a huge amount. Follow the recipe as stated but transfer the batter to a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes depending on your microwave. You can check to see if the baked oats are ready by inserting a toothpick into the center – if the toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs, it’s ready!

Do I need to use a blender?

You don’t need to use a blender but the texture is much smoother and cake-like when you blend the oats. If you don’t want to blend the oats, you can just mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and transfer to an oven-safe dish – bake according to the recipe.
