Just three healthy ingredients are needed to make these flourless chocolate brownies which are soft, melt in your mouth, yet ridiculously healthy! With no butter, oil, flour or sugar, these flourless blender brownies are naturally gluten free, vegan, paleo, dairy free and refined sugar free!

“I really want to make your brownies, but the only bananas I have are frozen!”

After sharing this 3 ingredient flourless brownie and this 4 ingredient flourless protein brownie recipe last year, the number 1 reason why people HADN’T made either of those brownies yet was due to one thing- Only having frozen bananas on hand.

Having frozen bananas on hand is a beautiful and beneficial thing. They are an amazing thickener in smoothies and If you’re anything like me, you even snack on them thawed….slathered in peanut butter. However, when it comes to using them in baked goods, I thought they would turn them into mush.

Friends, I stand corrected.

The other day, I had 3-4 frozen bananas all chopped up to um….eat semi-frozen with peanut butter for a day time snack. I already had the oven on calculating the oven directions for this microwave red velvet mug cake. On a whim, I thought to try it out with the frozen bananas. Unlike the original recipe, I didn’t want to wait for them to thaw out and wanted to see if it would work IN THIS STATE. This meant that using a hand to mash the bananas was out of the picture. I whipped out the blender, added the frozen banana pieces, smooth almond butter and some cocoa powder and blitzed it.

Friends, I was left with a cocoa colored swamp.

I taste tested it and it tasted SO good- Like that fake ice cream which isn’t ice cream but is kind of like ice cream but isn’t really ice cream because it has no cream.

Oh yeah.

Banana ‘ice cream.’

Anyway, while it tasted good in such a thick state, it needed to be baked. I poured the mixture in a loaf pan and baked it for around 15-20 minutes on low, watching consistently to make sure something odd wouldn’t happen (I’m not sure why I thought this. I thought maybe the frozen banana would freeze the oven. I’m smart like that). I took it out of the oven and was pleasantly surprised. They looked like delicious, rich and dense brownies but the key was the taste test. Would the taste be altered at all?

You guys, I swear they tasted better than using non-frozen bananas. They were somewhat sweeter and their texture was on point- Tender on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside. Dare I say they have officially trumped their non-frozen counterpart? You bet. You need to make these healthy 3 ingredient flourless blender brownies…now.

These healthy three ingredient flourless blender brownies have no butter, oil, flour or sugar but you’d never tell- They are THAT good. They have a rich, melt in your mouth texture and are the perfect naturally sweetened treat to enjoy anytime, or as I did- For breakfast! (PS- You would have seen these on Snapchat- Add-> thebigmansworld). They literally are the easiest (and healthiest!) brownies ever- Simply add all THREE ingredients in a blender and blitz and pour and bake. Because they have no eggs or any flour whatsoever, they are suitable for those following a vegan, gluten free, paleo and dairy free lifestyle.

HACK! I’m sorry that I sound like a broken record (again) but these brownies delivered on the ultimate taste test- Enjoyed straight out of the fridge or lightly thawed from the freezer. As hard as it is to do, PLEASE make a double batch. One batch to eat straight from the oven and a second to chill in the fridge and….Oh em gee.

Seriously.

Make these healthy 3 ingredient flourless blender brownies and now you actually can’t use the ‘but I only have frozen bananas’ excuse. They’ll now be even better.

Truth.
