Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small ramekin.
In a high-speed blender, blend the oats until they turn into a fine oat flour.
Add the remaining dry ingredients (baking powder, protein powder, cocoa powder) to the blender, followed by the wet ingredients (unsweetened almond milk and egg). Blend until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the greased ramekin.
Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
While the oats bake, make the icing by combining Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and almond milk in a small bowl.
Once the oats are done baking, allow them to cool slightly before spreading the chocolate icing on top.
Finish by adding a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles for that cosmic brownie touch.

Notes

Substitute rainbow sprinkles with chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for added texture.
For a sweeter taste, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
If you prefer a dairy-free option, swap Greek yogurt for dairy-free yogurt or use silken tofu for the icing.
For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based protein powder.
