The Scoop

Who decided brownies had to be dessert?
These Breakfast Brownies are soft, lightly sweet, and packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, banana, and flaxseed, making them perfect for busy mornings.
Bake a batch on Sunday, and you'll have grab-and-go breakfasts ready all week!
Hack it:
Add chocolate chips or cacao nibs for a more indulgent brownie vibe.
Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and healthy fats.
Stir in blueberries or raspberries before baking for juicy bursts of fruit.
Swap the rice milk for almond, oat, or dairy milk - basically whatever you have on hand.
Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to boost the protein (reduce the flour slightly in this case, if needed).
Mix in some shredded coconut for extra texture and natural sweetness.
Top with sliced banana before baking for a Pinterest, bakery-style finish.
Leftovers:
Warm one up and serve with Greek yogurt and fresh berries for an easy breakfast bowl.
Drizzle with almond butter for an afternoon snack that actually keeps you full.
Freeze individual squares and thaw overnight for grab-and-go breakfasts.
Crumble over yogurt like a wholesome granola topping.
