Have your brownies and porridge all-in-one for a healthy breakfast! This is a great way to use up leftover oatmeal porridge. they are loaded with healthy ingredients and a couple of these will get you through the day. They're so light with half the calories of regular brownies, but taste so rich. They even make their own frosting. They make a scrumptious snack too! If you don't make porridge you could soak 1/2 cup of oatmeal in one cup of water overnight or for a few hours. It's worth the try!

How To Make breakfast brownies

Step 1

Preheat aven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 inch brownie pan with greased wax paper.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 3

Gently melt together coconut oil, sugar and honey over a low flame. Remove and mix in yogurt, cocoa, eggs, oatmeal and vanilla.
Step 4

Gradually stir in the flour mixture into the above liquid mixture. Don't over mix. Fold in walnuts if used.
