Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free, if preferred)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

  3. In a separate bowl, mix almond butter, Greek yogurt, honey, and almond milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the top with dark chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
Baking
  1. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
