The type of chocolate chips will greatly determine the flavor of your brownie — dark chocolate will make a darker chocolate brownie, milk chocolate will produce a sweeter brownie, etc. You can increase the sugar to your preferences.
For a vegan brownie, use vegan cream cheese and opt for a vegan sweetener and chocolate chips. For a gluten free brownie, ensure your oats are gluten free.
