Servings 16 brownies
Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt if using unsalted nut butter
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions

Add the nut butter, cacao powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt, if using.3 ripe bananas, ½ cup (128g) almond butter, 6 tablespoons (30g) cacao powder, 3 tablespoons coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Whisk until combined, and then fold in the chocolate chips.⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- Spread in an 8x8” or similarly sized baking dish (mine is a 9x6” pan).
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean and the brownies are set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before removing from the pan and cutting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
- To freeze, stop in an airtight container, with any layers separated with parchment paper so they don't stick together, for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, simply microwave for 10-15 seconds or until warm and gooey. SO good topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
