Healthy Banana Brownies
Delicious, nutritious brownies made with ripe bananas and peanut butter, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without the guilt.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted peanut butter Feel free to experiment with different nut butters.
- ½ cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips Optional; can be adjusted to taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and grease lightly with cooking oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth without large chunks.
- Stir in the peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until the batter resembles brownie batter consistency.
- Fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and optionally sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
Baking
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool on a cooling rack for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with whipped coconut cream, fresh fruit, or drizzle with almond or peanut butter sauce.
