If you are trying to consume less sugar and maintain a healthy diet, but you just can’t seem to get over that sweet tooth, this recipe is just what you were looking for. These brownies don’t contain any refined sugar, flour, butter, or even eggs. In fact, this recipe only requires 2 ingredients: overripe bananas and unsweetened cocoa powder!
At first glance, it’s hard to imagine how these two ingredients can be turned into a brownie, but keep in mind that bananas are often used as an egg substitute in vegan baked goods. Cocoa powder, on the other hand, is a popular replacement for flour in flourless cakes and brownies. So, when mixed together, these two ingredients make a very fudge brownie with a rich chocolate taste.
If you want to keep the brownies as healthy as possible, you can skip the frosting. However, if you want to indulge in something sweeter, you can top the brownies with an easy three-ingredient chocolate frosting made of melted coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Not only are these brownies a healthier substitute for regular brownies, but they are also quite easy to prepare, and are sure to satisfy your chocolate craving.
