1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup protein powder (optional)
1/4 cup sweetener of choice (like monk fruit sweetener)
3/4 cup plain non‑fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8‑inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and protein powder (if using).
In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add a tiny splash of almond milk.
Melt 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips (microwave or stovetop) and fold into the batter gently.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
