Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut Butter creamy
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Milk as needed for consistency, or more
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips optional, for extra chocolatey goodness
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
Combining Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey, and milk until smooth.
Mixing and Baking
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips (if using). The batter should be thick but still spreadable. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two more of milk.
Baking and Cooling
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
No-Bake Option
- For a no-bake version, skip the preheating and baking steps. Simply press the batter into the prepared pan, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts) to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer a sweeter brownie, increase the amount of honey to 3/4 cup.
- To make these brownies vegan, use a vegan peanut butter and a plant-based milk alternative.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
