RECIPE FOR BANANA BROWNIES
The idea to prepare banana brownies occurred to me when I woke up in the morning and found a bunch of ripe bananas that were about to go bad. I had a whole day ahead of me, so I decided to use these bananas to make something delicious. However, I didn’t want to bake banana bread or a banana cake I wanted to bake something different.
For the purpose of this brownie recipe, as this is a vegan recipe ripe bananas are a great ingredient to replace eggs when we bake a dessert; such as cakes and muffins. So I thought chocolate and banana brownies would be a great combination. Therefore, by using overripe bananas with dark spots you can make eggs-free brownies and reduce food waste at the same time.
BANANA BROWNIES ALTERNATIVES
Although I used bananas to replace eggs another alternative you can try and tell us in the comments is using mashed avocados to replace this key ingredient when baking. As well as replacing the eggs if you don’t want to use vegetable oil you can use melted vegan butter or margarine. Moreover, you can add more ingredients when making the banana brownie batter, so use your creativity and try the ideas listed down below or try other ingredients that you like and already have at home.
- Raisins.
- Vegan marshmallows.
- Dates.
- Dark chocolate chips.
