Brownies with Bananas (Protein)

proteinbrowniesbananas These protein brownies are super fudgy, gooey, and need just four ingredients to make. No flour, no eggs and no butter needed, they make a guilt free dessert fix.

1 cup banana, measured as mashed
½ cup almond, peanut or cashew butter
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup chocolate whey protein powder

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a high speed blender or mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients and blend or mix until smooth.

Transfer the brownie batter to the lined pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are firm.

Remove the brownies from the oven and gently press down on the tops to form a crackly top. Let them cool completely before slicing and serving.

Cook's Notes:

To Store: Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, as they will spoil at room temperature. They will keep well for up to five days.
To Freeze: Place the brownies in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
