Tips & FAQs
Can I use plant-based protein?
Yes, but plant proteins absorb liquid differently. Add 1–2 extra tablespoons of almond milk if needed.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes — use certified gluten-free oats to make the oat flour.
Can I swap oat flour with almond flour?
Not directly. Almond flour is heavier and won’t produce the same texture.
Why did my brownies turn dry?
They may have baked too long. Remove at 10 minutes for the best fudgy result.
Are these good for meal prep?
Absolutely. They freeze well and keep their texture beautifully.
