Chocolate Lovers Dream

Can you really think of anything better than brownies with Oreos and extra chocolate?! Oreos were by far my favorite dessert when I was younger and still come pretty close these days. If you are a chocolate or Oreo lover these brownies are a must try.

These brownies have oat flour in them. If you haven’t baked with this before its actually super easy to make at home instead of buying from the store. All you have to do is blend oats until a fine flour is formed. I like making mine in big batches and just storing in a container so it’s ready to go.

This is a much cheaper way to do it as compared to buying from the store. Each bag at the store can be upwards of $10.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter of your preference will work. Be sure to melt the butter as stated in the directions. Oil should also work just make sure it is liquid. If you aren’t vegan traditional butter should also work.

Chocolate chips: any chocolate chips will work. You could also chop a chocolate bar or mix different kinds.

Nondairy milk: any nondairy milk will work. If you aren’t vegan traditional milk should also work.

Cacao powder: cocoa powder can be substituted.

Sugar: any granulated sugar will work. I used coconut sugar. Be sure to not use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup.

Oreos: I used traditional Oreos. You can add in whatever cookie you want.

These brownies are the perfect base to add in anything you want. You can add sprinkles, nuts, fruits, literally whatever. Adding frosting would also be super delicious.

My favorite way to eat these brownies is warming them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds and topping them with vegan vanilla ice cream. It seriously tastes so delicious, and you would never know that these brownies are vegan. You could also add vegan chocolate syrup. Trust me everyone who has tasted them has loved them!
