Pin

Got some spotty bananas? Make these Vegan Banana Brownies! They’re sweet, indulgent, and secretly healthy. I love mine with Cool Whip, dairy-free caramel, and hazelnuts for the perfect brownie sundae.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Fudgy, indulgent, and perfectly sweet.
• A great way to use up spotty bananas.
• Vegan, dairy-free, plant-based, and gluten-free.
• Made with oat flour, so it’s naturally gluten-free.
• Delicious on their own, but even better warmed up with ice cream!
• Ready in under 45 minutes.

Tips and Tricks:

• Use ripe or overripe bananas for naturally sweeter brownies.
• Mix wet ingredients fully before adding the dry ones.
• Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. It’s worth the wait!
