One day my son and I were craving brownies or something with chocolate, but I wanted to make a much healthier and more practical version, so I made this oatmeal for a sweet dinner and my son loved it.
I clarify that it is not a brownie itself, it is a chocolate-flavored oatmeal that is baked to simulate a cupcake or brownie. It is chocolatey and delicious and the mixture is prepared in the blender, all in less than 5 minutes.
If you like it very sweet just adjust the amount of honey or sweetener you add and top it with your favorite toppings.
