Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Homemade or store-bought healthier Nutella
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 cup Oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the natural peanut butter, Nutella, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, oat flour, and baking powder. Mix until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Step 4
If desired, fold in the dark chocolate chips for added texture and richness.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for a hint of salty balance to the sweetness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into 9 squares.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to one week.
