Very rarely do we come across recipes which sound sinful but are super healthy.Quite an oxymoron I know,but I am sure you'll agree with me after seeing the ingredients which go into this delicious,decadent and fudgy Brownies.I have a weak spot for Brownies and I keep collecting Brownie recipes like there's no tomorrow.So when I saw Sunita's post of Eggless Oaty Brownies,I was jumping in joy.Here was a Brownie recipe which was Eggless,low-fat and low-sugar too.And like Sunita's other baking recipes,this one was made with Atta/whole wheat flour and with oats.Can it get better than this??
I set about making it last Sunday while I was making dosas,oh didn't I tell you the making of these beauties were a breeze too??No excess beating of ingredients,no waiting for butter to come to room temperature because..well,there's no butter in this recipe!!Only effort for me[if there's one at all] was to melt the chocolate[since I freeze the chocolate,it was hard for me to wait for it to come down to room temperature and then melt it].
It smelled divine while it was baking and I found it so hard to wait for it to cool down so that I could cut it and EAT it!!
It had the perfect crust,oh the crust!!I couldn't tell it was made with atta and more important,I kept telling myself that they were low-fat while chomping down pieces after pieces!!
Eggless Oats Brownies
Recipe courtesy - Sunita of Sunita's world
Ingredients
Whole wheat flour/Atta - 1 1/2 cups
Oats - 3/4 cup
Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Dark Chocolate - 150 gms,melted and cooled
Dark Brown Sugar - 4 tbsp[I used white sugar]
Milk - 2 cups
Sunflower Oil - 5 tbsp
Method
Preheat oven to 180C--Grease/line an 8' square cake pan.
In a mixing bowl,mix together flour,oats,cocoa powder and baking powder.
In another bowl,mix together milk,sugar and oil.
Mix the liquid ingredients into the flour mix slowly.
Fold in the melted chocolate.
Transfer the batter into the pan and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake for 30 minutes,the centre will still be soft at this stage.
Place the pan on a rack and cool completely in the pan[believe me,this is the hardest part!!]
When completely cool,cut into 16 squares.

Bookmarked.. Just a query. What if I remove the oats.. My hubby doesn prefer oats.. Can I substitute it with some nuts or more flour.. Plz let me know..
ReplyDeleteOats is one of the main ingredients in the recipe.I am guessing you can use almond meal as a substitute.
Deletewow, brownies look so yummy, send me some pls
ReplyDeleteLovely clicks Divya! The brownie looks so chocolaty.
ReplyDeleteRemember seeing these at Sunita's. A very guilt-free way to eat brownies! :D
ReplyDeleteYummy looking brownies...have been wanting to try them for long...urs look perfect
ReplyDeleteOats in brownies?? There's a first for me!!
ReplyDeleteHi .. the brownie looks yummy. What oats was used? Is it old fashioned/quick cooking etc?
ReplyDeleteQuick cooking oats.
Deletehi Divya,
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely. Can we cook them in microwave?
Yes you can.MW the brownies for 7-8 minutes at 70-80% power and let it cool completely before slicing.
Deletehi divya...i tried baking these as y first baking attempt....it was still yummy but turned out hard and a little burnt at sides..could u give general tips on not burning or overcooking brownies?
ReplyDeleteBurnt sides could be due to high heat.Try reducing the temperature and bake for a slightly longer duration.
DeleteHi Divya,
ReplyDeleteI have been a regular visitor of your blog since sometime. You have a beautiful space out here :-)
I tried this recipe yesterday & it came out really good. Thank you for your lovely recipes :-)
it really came out good..better than Dominos choco lava.
ReplyDeleteDisappointed...texture no doubt was amazing but it did not taste sweet at all..far less sugar than required . Also we did not add any vanilla essence, so the natural flavour of the flours was too overpowering
ReplyDeleteI am definitely making this again..but with more sugar and vanilla :-)
Sorry to hear that Priya.The original recipe is a little less sweet,I think the dark chocolate and less sugar is the culprit.But since this is supposed to be a low-fat treat,I let it be.Please do try with more sugar and let me know the results.I usually add coffee or vanilla to boost the chocolate flavor but went with the original recipe here.
DeleteHey, how do I bake this in a power MW oven? My MW doesn't have temperature indicators, so cannot pre-heat it :(
