Tips & Substitutions
Mix the cocoa into the dry oats first. That way it does not clump when the milk goes in.
Peanut butter swirl. A teaspoon of powdered peanut butter adds about 10 calories and a peanut butter cup taste.
Splash of cold coffee. Replace 2 tablespoons of almond milk with cold coffee for a stronger chocolate taste with no extra calories.
Chocolate chips. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of mini chips on top (about 20 calories) for the real brownie bite.
How to Make It More Filling
Stir in half a mashed small banana to make the jar thicker and sweeter. It adds about 45 calories and keeps the brownie taste.
Storage
Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. The oats thicken the longer they sit, so add a splash of almond milk before eating. Not freezer friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this taste like real brownies?
It tastes like the batter: rich and chocolatey, with an oat texture. A few chocolate chips get you closest.
Can I use cacao instead of cocoa?
Yes, 1 for 1. Cacao tastes a little more bitter, so add sweetener to taste.
Which sweetener works best?
Stevia or a monk fruit blend. Start with 1 teaspoon, taste, and add more only if you need it.
Can I leave out the yogurt?
You can, but the jar turns thin and the protein drops to about 7 grams.
