Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 ripened banana
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup oat flour (gluten free if needed)
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe bowl or a corningware dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mash Banana: In the prepared bowl, mash the ripened banana thoroughly using the back of a fork until smooth.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, almond milk, and brown sugar until well combined, creating a smooth batter base.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the baking powder, cocoa powder, and oat flour to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is uniform.
- Add Nuts and Chocolate: Fold in the walnuts evenly through the batter and sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra gooeyness and texture.
- Bake: Place the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The brownie center should remain slightly gooey for the best fudgy texture.
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and optionally top with ice cream and drizzled peanut butter for a decadent finishing touch before enjoying.
