3 Ingredient Brownies
/Happy Monday Lovelies!
Who else LOVES a good brownie?!? I am all about brownies, just not all about the sugar, artificial flavors, & high calorie count. SO I did some researching & taste testing and I found the most delicious brownies!
With that said, if you do NOT like bananas then you will NOT like these brownies - so I am so sorry, but please do not make them & waste your time :)
However, if you love Banana Bread, like me - then you will absolutely love these brownies!
Also - I am a lover of all things healthy - there are very few healthy things that my tastebuds dislike - where as my sweet husband will try some healthy things I love and want to puke - haha - so with that said - know your tastebuds when making this - if you love healthy foods, like me & love banana bread, like me - then you will for sure love these brownies!
So we all know refined sugar is bad, white flour is bad, things you cannot pronounce yet eat daily are bad, but it is SO hard to say no to all that bad goodness! I am on a lifelong journey to eat as clean & healthy as possible - but also allow myself to splurge & treat myself. So will I make store bought cookie dough & store bought brownies weekly or even monthly? No. But what if one day I cannot get my mind off of Pillsbury brownies (the best) - guess what - I will make a pan - and enjoy ONE - even then I will use coconut oil NOT canola oil - and that is the biggest struggle - only one - everything in moderation - including splurges. All about that 80 / 20 life nah mean?
As I dig deeper into my blog I will share with you all my love for nutrition and all the amazing life changing facts that most of us would never know! This doesn't mean you need to commit to a hard core diet and never eat chemical products like oreos & soda. BUT it means that you can enjoy all the amazing ingredients that the Lord gave us from the earth - we do not need all of those artificial ingredients - and most of those lead to terrible diseases - so as I dig deeper it will just be a way to show you what you can indeed fall in love with & with time you will fall out of love with all of the harmful yet delicious food products.
Now onto my 3 ingredient brownies!
I found this recipe on Pinterest from 'Big Mans World' :)
Ingredients: (Use Organic When Possible)
3 overripe bananas (mashed)
1/2 cup smooth almond butter (I use Trader Joe's Raw Almond Butter)
1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, spray an 8x8 cake pan with coconut oil
2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt your nut butter - just to heat it up.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas, nut butter, and cocoa powder and mix with mixer until all blended and smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into your greased baking pan
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
6. Remove from oven and let set for several minutes, then enjoy!
