Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure your brownies remain tender.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve these low-fat banana brownies as a delicious, healthier dessert option.
