Healthy Frosted Fudgy Brownies ALLERGY FRIENDLY (Vegan, Nut Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free)

I made the decision this week to break the banana bread in quarantine rule!! That’s it. I’m over it and I need something new. So I’m leaving banana bread for……………

BROWNIES.

I have 29402 frozen bananas in my fridge and brownies just seem like the move, so why the heck not!??!

If you guys are visual learners HERE is a link to a short and sweet video of how to make this recipe.

Healthy Frosted Fudgy Brownies!

For the Brownie:

3 frozen bananas thawed in microwave OR 3 bananas baked in oven until completely brown and soft

1/4 cup Sunbutter (or any nut or seed butter)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 cup cacao powder

1/4 cup chocolate CHUNKS (get chunks.. trust me on this one.) I use Enjoy Life

For the frosting:

1 small avocado (you will need 1/4 cup mashed)

3 tbsp. Sunbutter (or other nut or seed butter)

3 tbsp cacao powder

2-3 tbsp of maple syrup OR 2 tbsp maple syrup plus 1 tbsp swerve powdered sweetener

1 tbsp plant based milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 F

Toss all brownie ingredients into bowl and mix until there are no dry spots left, scraping sides down as necessary

Coat a 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray and evenly spread batter into dish

Bake for 30-35 minutes. The center may still be soft, but when poking a fork or toothpick into the center it should come out relatively clean

Let cool and make your frosting!

Mash 1/4 cup avocado into large bowl and add remaining frosting ingredients

Use a mixer or whisk to blend ingredients together until smooth
