5 Ingredient Healthy Chocolate Banana Brownie (Gluten Free)
The genius behind its rich texture and natural sweetness lies in the combination of ripe bananas and cottage cheese, which act as binders and moisturizers, replacing traditional flour and excessive fats. This innovative approach ensures a fudgy consistency without any gluten.
The remaining simple ingredients eggs, honey and unsweetened cacao powder complete this minimalist yet flavorful recipe. The eggs provide structure, the honey delivers balanced sweetness, and the cacao powder infuses deep chocolate notes.
Baked to perfection, these banana brownies emerge as a satisfyingly moist and chocolatey dessert or even a high-protein snack. They’re a fantastic way to utilize overripe bananas and offer a healthier alternative to conventional brownies.
