TIPS
- Use Very Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavourful the bite.
- Check Doneness Early: Brownie bites continue to cook slightly after baking—don’t overbake or they may dry out.
- Add Texture: Stir in crushed walnuts, vegan chocolate chips or shredded coconut for an extra bite.
- Oil The Ramekin: Lightly grease or line your ramekin to prevent sticking for easy removal.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Version: Swap almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Protein Boost: Add ½ tsp of unflavoured or chocolate vegan protein powder for a post-workout treat.
- Extra Moisture: Stir in a teaspoon of almond milk or coconut milk if the batter seems too thick.
- Sweeter Option: Mix in a few drops of maple syrup for added sweetness without compromising the health profile.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for a deeper flavour twist.
