BANANA BREAD BROWNIES:
Ingredients
- ▢3 medium very ripe bananas
- ▢¼ cup natural almond butter
- ▢3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- ▢¼ cup unsweetened almond milk beverage
- ▢1 tablespoon Truvia baking blend
- ▢½ teaspoon salt
- ▢¾ cup white whole wheat flour
- ▢¼ cup quick cooking rolled oats
- ▢1 teaspoon baking powder
- ▢1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ▢¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with coconut oil and line with parchment paper (used to lift the brownies from the pan). Set pan aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas, almond butter, coconut oil, almond milk, sugar and salt with a fork until batter is mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
- Fold in the flour, oats, and baking powder with a spatula, just until combined.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
- Fold the cocoa powder and chocolate chips into the remaining batter, just until combined. Pour the chocolate mixture over the plain banana batter and gently smooth into even layer.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until set and golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Allow pan to cool completely on wire rack before cutting into 16 squares.
- Store any remaining brownies in an airtight container.
