Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup high-quality cocoa powder
  • 1 cup plant-based flour (spelt or gluten-free oat flour blend)
  • 1/2 cup natural sweetener (pure maple syrup or agave nectar)
  • 1/2 cup nut or seed butter (creamy almond butter or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed fruit and whisk until emulsified.
  4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt, and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in most of the dark chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for best flavor and texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to a week.
