Course Dessert
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • - 3 spotty bananas about 1.5-2 cups mashed
  • - 1/2 cup almond butter or any other nut or seed butter
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or substitute coconut sugar, brown sugar, or cane sugar
  • - 1/3 cup cacao powder
  • - 1 tsp baking soda
  • - 3/4 cup oat flour or substitute all-purpose or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • - 1/2 tsp salt
  • - 1/2 cup chocolate chips + more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a 9x9 or 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add oat flour, cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until a thick batter forms.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, then spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before slicing. Enjoy warm with Cool Whip, dairy-free caramel, and diced hazelnuts.

Notes

  • Use ripe or overripe bananas for a naturally sweeter brownie.
  • 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!
