Ingredients
Units
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup oat flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, egg and vanilla to a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt, then stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then lift them out and slice into squares.
Notes
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best sweetness and flavour.
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour if needed to keep these gluten-free.
- Almond butter or cashew butter can replace the peanut butter.
