Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare a 9x9” baking pan by greasing it.
- In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt, then set this mixture aside.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate and your choice of coconut oil or butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until fully melted and combined.
- In a larger bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, granulated sugar, Vanilla Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs until completely smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is just barely set.
- Once baked, remove from oven and let the brownies cool on a wire rack.
Ganache Preparation
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it bubbles over medium-low heat.
- Whisk the chopped semisweet chocolate and vanilla extract into the warm cream until dark and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies and let it spread over the top.
