These healthy flourless brownies are a delicious and nutritious treat made with ripe bananas, almond butter, and cacao powder. Naturally sweetened and gluten-free, they offer a rich chocolate flavor without any added flour, making them perfect for those seeking a wholesome dessert option.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 4 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup unsweetened creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until creamy but you may leave some chunks if desired. Whisk in the egg and almond butter until thoroughly combined to create a smooth batter base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the cacao powder and sea salt, using some elbow grease to incorporate the cocoa evenly until the batter is rich and uniform in color.
  4. Prepare to Bake: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check by gently poking the center—the brownies should feel firm but moist when done.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool for at least 30 minutes to set properly before slicing into 12 servings and serving.

Notes

  • Using ripe bananas is essential for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overbake; brownies should be firm but still moist inside.
  • The cacao powder may be stubborn to mix in; be patient to get a well-combined batter.
  • Cooling the brownies before slicing ensures clean cuts and better texture.
  • These brownies are gluten-free and suitable for a gluten-free diet.
