Rich and healthy Oatmeal Protein Brownies made with oat flour and granola mix-in truly are a dessert for breakfast! Low calorie oat flour protein brownies use cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder and have no eggs either.

Okay to be honest I always have a sweet-dessert-item for breakfast after my big bowl of protein oats, so these oatmeal protein powder brownies are like having a second oats dessert.

I don’t think I would complain though; Protein brownies for breakfast – especially healthy and low calorie ones like these – are really not something to say no to.

Starting the day with indulgence here!

Ingredients for Oatmeal Protein Brownies

These oatmeal protein brownies are made with oat flour instead of flour, use cocoa powder and are sweetened with chocolate protein powder. No sugar and no eggs here for a low calorie oatmeal brownie!

Oat Flour – You can make your own with oats in a high speed blender
Chocolate Protein Powder needed for high protein brownies and also replaces most of the ‘sugar’. I used the Chocolate Milkshake protein powder from Quest Nutrition for this recipe (it’s a whey-caesin blend and bakes really well).
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, or Raw Cacao Powder (HAYLSKITCHEN.15OFF to save on Kiva Cacao)
1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here)

Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these high protein brownies since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein
Almond Milk or regular milk
Almond Butter (no butter or oil to keep this recipe low fat)
Baking Soda

And for the mix-in and topping:

Granola: I used ProteinWorld new Slender Granola in the honey crunch flavor; The code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount here too.

Tips for Perfect Oat Flour Protein Brownie Recipe

Make sure to use oat flour and not oats. You want the fine flour consistency here of the brownies won’t have the right texture.
You can make your own oat flour by blending rolled or instant oats in a high speed blender or Nutri bullet.

Use room temperature milk and yogurt;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well to give the perfect oatmeal fudge brownies.

Use Creamy Peanut Butter also so that it mixes well into the batter

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the low calorie oats brownies tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have sugar free and healthy fudgy brownies.

Break large granola clusters into smaller chunks so they mix well in the protein granola brownies batter.

Don’t over-bake the brownies or they might get tough; Remove when the tester/knife comes out mostly dry.
Underbaking a little is okay.

How to store Protein Breakfast Brownies made with Oatmeal?

This high protein breakfast brownie recipe keeps well for a meal prep breakfast, dessert or post workout snack; Freezer friendly too!

Store unique protein powder brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 days or in the fridge for a week.

To freeze oatmeal fudge brownies, individually wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer-safe zipper bags or air tight container; They should keep for 2-3 months.

Alternatives for Healthy Oatmeal Brownies without Eggs

For the perfect low fat but moist high protein healthy oatmeal brownies, I would highly suggest using the ingredients and brands I recommended; I do have some alternatives you can try. I haven’t testing them all, so I can’t say how your recipe might turn out.
