Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup almond butter Can substitute with any nut or seed butter.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Choose based on preference.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Optional, for added chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the mashed bananas, mixing until well combined.
  4. Sift in the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently until just combined—don't overmix.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into your lined baking pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares and enjoy!
