Finely chop the oat flakes until they are reduced to flour and then mix them with the sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder.
Add the well-squeezed courgettes and a little water at room temperature to achieve a creamy and fairly dense consistency.
Pour the mixture into a rectangular mold that is not too wide because, in any case, the brownies must come a little high.
The mold should be greased and floured or lined with parchment paper.
