Step 1

Set oven to Place Quaker Gluten Free Oats in a food processor and blend into a fine flour. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine all the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Start with oil, add maple syrup or sugar. Add vanilla, mashed banana or applesauce, eggs.

Step 3

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl: flour, espresso powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, walnuts, chocolate chips. Mix well with a whisk. Add the dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients with a hand mixer or spatula.

Step 4

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or grease it. Pour mixture into the pan. Place in oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes (the longer they cook the less fudge like they will be). Let the brownies completely cool before cutting otherwise they will crumble a bit!
