  5. Add the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk/stir to combine.
  6. Pour into prepared dish, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F, the center should not feel squishy when they are done.
  8. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. Either enjoy warm, or cool and top with one of the frostings listed above. Enjoy!

For the old version: omit the flax egg, increase applesauce to 1 cup, decrease cocoa powder to 1/4 cup
