📚 **Elevate Your Brownie Enjoyment!**
Picture this: It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, and you're cozied up with a book. Alongside you is a cup of steaming hot coffee and a plate of these rich, moist brownies. ☕️📖
Want to go fancy? Serve these brownies warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. 🍨 Your guests won't believe this gourmet dessert came from such a simple recipe.
For a wholesome breakfast boost, crumble these brownies over a bowl of Greek yogurt and fresh berries. 🍓🫐 It’s a nutritious way to start your day with a hint of indulgence!
Equipment
If you're short on time, a blender can make quick work of the bananas for a smooth batter. Otherwise, a mixing bowl and a whisk will do just fine!
Using silicone molds ensures easy brownie release and cleanup. If you don't have silicone molds, you can use a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure even baking. A good quality oven thermometer is handy to make sure your oven heats accurately.
Variations
🌾 **Gluten-Free & Vegan Tweaks**
**Gluten-Free**: Good news! The original recipe is already gluten-free as it doesn't contain any flour. Just ensure your baking powder is certified gluten-free.
🌿 **Vegan**: Substitute the eggs with flax eggs (2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons of water, let sit for 5 minutes). 🥄 This will keep your brownies moist and chewy without using any animal products.
**Sweetness Enhanced**: If your bananas are not ripe enough, add a natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar. 🍯 This keeps it vegan and adds an extra layer of flavor.
Faq
- Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, you can use frozen bananas. Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess water before using.
- Do I need to grease the silicone molds?
Nope! That’s the beauty of silicone molds—they are naturally non-stick, making cleanup a breeze.
- Can I add nuts or chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Fold in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking for added texture and flavor.
- How do I store leftover brownies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. They taste great chilled too!
- Can I freeze these brownies?
Yes, these brownies freeze well. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store in a zip-top bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- What's the best cocoa powder to use?
Using high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder will give the best flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa powder works wonderfully in this recipe.
