Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place 1/2 cup of the dark chocolate chips in a large heat safe bowl.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut oil in the microwave until fully liquid, then immediately pour the hot oil over the 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
- Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, microwaving in 10 to 15 second bursts if needed, stirring after each burst.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly until warm but not hot to the touch.
- Whisk the honey vanilla Greek yogurt into the melted chocolate mixture until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla bean paste, salt, baking soda, and coconut sugar, and whisk until the batter looks smooth with no visible sugar pockets.
- Blend rolled oats in a blender until very fine, then measure out 3/4 cup oat flour and add it to the chocolate mixture.
- Fold in the oat flour with a spatula until just combined, then stir in the remaining 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips.
- Scrape the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly from edge to edge, smoothing the top and pressing it into the corners.
- Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the top looks set and a toothpick or fork inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Once fully cooled, in a small bowl whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt and powdered sugar until smooth to make a glaze.
- Spread the yogurt glaze evenly over the cooled brownies in the pan.
- Refrigerate the glazed brownies in the pan for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set and fudgy.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownie slab from the pan, slice into 16 squares, and serve.
Notes
- Blend the oats before measuring the oat flour so you get an accurate 3/4 cup of very fine flour.
- The batter will be thick; press it into the pan rather than trying to pour it.
- Slight underbaking keeps the center fudgy; the brownies will set more as they cool and chill.
- For clean slices, chill the brownies thoroughly before cutting with a sharp knife.
