  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 ml) milk
  • 1 egg 50 grams out of shell, room temperature
  • 1 egg white
  • 3/4 cup (65 grams) rolled oats or traditional oats gluten-free oats if you're GF)
  • 3/4 cup (85 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Spray an 8" x 8" pan with baking spray.
  • If making these in the food processor, process the oats for a few seconds until powdery. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and peanut butter. If making these in the blender, first add the liquid ingredients, and then the dry ingredients, except peanut butter and chocolate chips. Either way you do it, process until the oats are well ground.
