Decoration Tips
For an added touch of sophistication, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the brownies right after they come out of the oven.

If you're feeling adventurous, a drizzle of dark chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder can elevate these simple treats to new heights.
Ingredients:
- 3 mashed ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener
- Optional: ¾ cup chocolate chips and/or unsweetened chocolate chunks
- Optional: sea salt for finishing
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Combine the mashed bananas with eggs in a bowl. Add honey or sweetener if desired, mixing well to combine.
- Stir in the cocoa powder and baking soda until the mixture is fully integrated. Then, mix in more than half of the chocolate chips or chunks.
- If using individual square or muffin molds, divide the batter among them, filling each ¾ full. For a single large batch, pour the mixture into a greased 20x20cm (approximate) pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips or chunks over the top and bake. For mini brownies, bake for about 10-15 minutes. For a large pan, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until almost set in the center. Be careful not to overbake to maintain moisture.
- Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt upon removal from the oven.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan or cutting into 16 squares. Serve warm for a truly indulgent experience.
Enjoy these marvelously moist and chocolatey flourless brownies, a simple yet satisfying treat that proves less is indeed more.
