If you’re searching for a dessert that balances flavor, health, and convenience, your search ends here. This 3-ingredient banana brownie is proof that you can create an incredible sweet treat without flour, dairy, or added sugars, using only the natural sweetness of the fruit.
The technique is straightforward, and the result is a brownie with a moist texture and a rich chocolate flavor. It’s perfect for an afternoon snack or whenever you crave a guilt-free dessert. Let’s get baking.
Ingredients
- 6 very ripe bananas (the riper they are, the sweeter the brownie will be)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (100% cocoa, if possible)
- 1 tsp baking powder
Equipment
- Baking pan (approximately 8×8 inches)
- Parchment paper
- Oven (we used the Mueller Sapore Electric Oven: https://bit.ly/3OjbECU)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. You can lightly grease the paper to ensure the brownie doesn’t stick.
2. Prepare the Base: In a bowl, peel the 6 bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork until you have a smooth, uniform puree.
3. Incorporate the Cocoa: Add the 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the banana puree. Mix well with a spatula or whisk until the cocoa is fully incorporated and the batter has an even color.
4. Add the Baking Powder: Finally, add the teaspoon of baking powder and mix gently, just enough to integrate it into the batter.
5. Bake the Brownie: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. The brownie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Finish: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly before cutting, and serve.
