Ingredients
- Overripe Bananas
- Almond Butter
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Overripe Bananas:This recipe works best with overripe bananas. Because this recipe has no added sugar, all the sweetness comes from the bananas and overripe bananas are sweeter.
Almond Butter:I used unsweetened creamy naturalalmond butter, but I think regular processedalmond butterwill also work.Almond buttercan be substituted with other nut butters like cashew butter orpeanut butter. If you usepeanut butter, you willtastethepeanut butterflavor, whereas you don’t reallytastethealmond butterflavor.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder:I recommend using dutch process cocoa powder. It provides a richer chocolateflavorand color to these brownies.
Easy Blender BrownieBatter
You don’t need abowlfor this recipe. All you need to do is place all of theingredientsin a blender and process them until they form a smoothbatter.
If you don’t have a blender or food processor, you canwhiskthebatterin alarge bowl. It works best to fully mash the banana first so it’s liquidy with no lump. Thenwhiskin thealmond butterand cocoa powder.
Pour themixtureinto a preparedbakingpan and thenbakethe brownies for about 20 minutes at 350°F.
The brownies are done once the tops are set, and the center is no longer jiggly. Allow them to cool toroom temperaturebefore slicing them.
Storage Tips
I recommend storing these brownies in an airtight container in therefrigerator. They will keep for a few days. I haven’t triedfreezingthem.
Healthy BrownieSweetness
Please be aware that these are not your typicaldessertbrownies. If you are expecting regular brownies, you will likely be disappointed. These brownies are very low in sugar. They do have some sweetness, but it is very mild.
However, I still like how theytastebecause they have such a rich chocolateflavor. If you like extra dark chocolate, then I think you will enjoy these brownies. I think these brownies will also work for people who have cut back on sugar or don’t regularly consume a lot of sugar.
If you do want to increase sweetness to these brownies, you can do that a few different ways:
- Reduce the cocoa powder by 2-4tbsp. Doing so will make the brownies sweeter, but you will alsotastea lot more bananasflavor.
- Add 1/2 cup ofchocolate chipsor chopped chocolate to thebatter.
- Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar, maple syrup, or honey to thebatter. Add 1/4 cup will make thesetastemore like semisweet chocolate. Add 1/2 cup if you want more sweetness. You can alwaystastethebatterbeforebakingto figure out how much sugar you want to add. If you are adding more than 1/4 cup, I recommend using sugar rather than maple or honey because otherwise thebatterwill be too wet.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (377 g) overripe pureed bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup (128 g) creamy natural almond butter unsweetened
- 1/2 cup (56 g) unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor or blender, puree the bananas. Add in almond butter and cocoa powder and blend until smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Place into oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. The brownie batter should have puffed up, the surface should be dry. The batter should no longer be jiggly but should still feel soft and not firm if you press on it. Let brownies cool completely before cutting and eating.
Notes
- These are not regular brownies. The brownies are very chocolatey but not very sweet. It is like eating very dark chocolate. Please see the post for more details. You can taste the batter before baking to determine if you need more sweetness. I also share how you can add some more sweetness to the brownies in the post. If you do decide to add sugar, it may change baking time.
- If you have any questions regarding substitutions for the almond butter, I address them in the post.
- I usedRodelle Dutch Process Cocoa Powder.*
