Ingredients

6 bananas can substitute for pumpkin (2 cups)
1 cup almond butter can substitute for peanut butter or alternative
1/2 cup cocoa powder more = richer taste
2 scoops protein powder See post for protein powder recommendations
1 cup chocolate chips of choice Optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven the 180C/350 degrees, grease a square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a blender, food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the bananas, cocoa powder, protein powder, and almond butter and blend/mix until smooth. Fold through chocolate chips if using them.
Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake for around 18-20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven gently press down with your hands to create crinkly tops. Allow to cool before drizzling with chocolate and slicing.

Notes

I do NOT recommend whey protein powder- It lends itself to a gummy texture.

You don't need to blend or process all ingredients, but they lend a smoother texture- Although I do like my banana chunks in them

These brownies are not super sweet, as the protein powders used all had sweetener in them. Adjust accordingly if you'd like a very sweet brownie.

Brownies are best kept and enjoyed refrigerated- They are also freezer friendly.
