Dry Ingredients:

> 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats

> 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

> 1/2 cup Tropeaka lean chocolate protein (or chocolate protein of choice)

> 2 heaped tsp ground cinnamon

> 1 tsp baking powder

> 2 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt

> 1-3 tsp ground flaxseed (optional)

> 1/2 cup extra dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients:

> 3 large ripe bananas - mashed

> 2 large eggs

> 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

> 2/3 cup unsweetened organic peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 13" x 9' baking pan with coconut cooking spray.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients except for chocolate chips.

3. In a separate mixing bowl mash the bananas until they are nice and creamy. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well.

**NOTE: If your nut butter is in the refrigerator, pull it out ahead of time or microwave it for 20-30 seconds before mixing so it will stir in easily.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix well.

5. Stir in chocolate chips

6. Pour the chocolate banana oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking pan. If desired, sprinkle the top with extra chocolate chips.

7. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35-42 minutes, or until the oatmeal is cooked through (190 degrees Fahrenheit)

8. Allow the chocolate-baked oats to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Each brownie has about 12 grams of protein depending on the protein powder that you use! Enjoy with full-fat Greek yogurt and some fresh berries for a complete meal or add to your breakfast. Or take it on the go as a high-protein snack!
