3 Ingredient Healthy Banana Brownies
These healthy banana brownies are rich, fudgy and chocolatey. They are just 3 ingredients and the batter takes only about five minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (377 g) pureed bananas
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 5 tbsp (35 g) unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor or blender, add pureed bananas, peanut butter and cocoa powder and blend until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. The brownie batter should look puffy and the surface should not be wet. The batter should not be jiggly but when you touch the surface, it should still feel very soft and not quite set. Let brownies cool completely before cutting and eating.
Notes
- If you have a scale, you can weigh the bananas and then add them to blender or food processor to puree them. If you don't have a scale, puree four bananas, then measure out 1 1/2 cups for the recipe.
- You can also make this recipe without a food processor or blender, but you will need to make sure you finely mash the bananas until they have a puree consistency (I recommend using a whisk instead of a fork).
- The brownies do not have your typical brownie texture. They are very fudgy and moist. The brownies are also not very sweet as they have no added sugar. You can always add a sweet frosting or sweetener on top if you want to make your brownies taste sweeter.
- I have only tested this with dutch process cocoa powder. I think natural unsweetened cocoa powder should work but I have not had a chance to test to make sure it works.
- I use this Good Cook 8 inch square pan.*
