Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe bananas (the spottier the better for sweeter brownies)
  • 2/3 cup drippy cashew butter or nut / seed butter / tahini of choice
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice optional but highly recommended if you prefer a sweeter brownie
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 cup chopped chocolate / chunks / chips of choice dairy-free or regular

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Line a small square pan / baking dish (about 5-6 inches - can also use a 9” loaf pan - the smaller pans give you thicker brownies) with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easier removal. Set aside.

  3. In a bowl, add the bananas and mash very well - alternatively, you can blend them in a small blender until smooth for best results.
  4. Add the cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Mix until very well combined. Fold in the chocolate. Pour the mixture evenly into the baking pan, smoothing out with a spatula as needed. Sprinkle the top evenly with a generous layer of chocolate chips or chocolate chunks.
  5. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan completely. Use the parchment paper to remove the brownies from the pan and cut into even sized squares. Serve and enjoy.
