Vinita shared the recipe with the caption, “Rich, yummy, and super filling, the perfect way to satisfy those dessert cravings while still getting that protein in for the gains.”

Ingredients

⦿ Brownie baked oats base:

One-and-a-half cups of oat flour

One-and-a-half cups of chocolate or coffee plant protein powder

One-third cup monkfruit or stevia sweetener

Half a cup of regular cocoa powder

One cup of non-dairy milk or water

Half a cup of mashed banana, non-dairy yoghurt, or apple puree

One tsp vanilla extract

Two flax eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed powder + 6 tbsp water mixed)

One tsp espresso or coffee powder (optional)

Method

  1. Blend all the ingredients until you get a smooth mixture.
  2. Transfer it to a 9×13-inch baking tray, and generously drizzle crunchy or creamy peanut butter on top. You can choose an option that has no added sugar.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes at 175°C and let it cool completely.
  4. Spread non-dairy chocolate yoghurt over the top and finish with a layer of peanut butter. Slice and enjoy!

Lastly, Vinita mentioned that she used unsweetened creamy peanut butter to offset the sweetness of the oat base and the yoghurt. However, she added, “You can use sweetened or any other nut butter of your choice. Hazelnut would be delicious.”

Why are monkfruit or stevia sweeteners better than sugar?

In cooking, monkfruit or stevia is often used as a sugar substitute. Both are calorie-free and sugar-free, making them a good option for people looking to lower their sugar and calorie intake. They even have a low glycemic impact, making it a great alternative for people with diabetes.
