- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with unbleached parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork. Add almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix well until smooth.
- Add unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold ⅔ cup chocolate chips into the batter
- Add the brownie batter to prepared baking dish, then add the rest of the chocolate chips on top. Swirl a few spoonfuls of almond butter (optional).
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until mostly set in the center. The edges will pull away a little bit, and that’s ok. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt (optional).
