3 Ingredient Brownies
These 3 ingredient banana brownies only take a few minutes to make! They are fudgy and chocolatey and are sweetened with just bananas!
Servings: 8 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pureed overripe bananas about 3 medium overripe bananas
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup optional for added sweetness
- optional add-ins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Puree the bananas until smooth. Pour this mixture into a bowl.
- Add the peanut butter/seed butter and unsweetened cocoa powder to the bowl.
- Mix until combined and fold in any additional add-ins.
- Transfer to a pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Notes
- These brownies do not taste like your typical brownie since they are egg-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, but they are pretty good for something that is banana-based! If you do not like the taste of bananas, I would not recommend this recipe.
- These brownies are meant to be soft and fudgy. If you prefer something a little thicker and cakier, try adding a little flour to the batter.
- Do not cook the brownies for more than 25 minutes. They may look like they are not cooked through, but they will continue to harden a little as they cool.
- Use overripe bananas for more sweetness. Taste the batter before baking to see if you like the taste (since the batter does not contain eggs, it is safe to taste raw). Add in a little maple syrup if you prefer more sweetness.
- The cocoa powder does contain some caffeine, so be mindful of that when deciding whether to serve to a younger child.
- I love using this nutribullet blender to blend the bananas into a smooth texture!
