- â…“ cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- â…“ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mash the Bananas
Place the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl and mash them until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are perfectly fine and add texture.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, milk, and honey to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the oat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix until a thick brownie batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
Step 6: Cool and Slice
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into 10 squares. This helps them become extra fudgy and easier to slice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these brownies with fresh berries, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a small scoop of yogurt for a delicious dessert or snack.
