Ingredients

• 1 medium to large banana

Tip: The riper the banana, the sweeter the brownie.

• 1 egg
• 30g unsweetened cocoa powder

You may replace 10g of unsweetened cocoa powder with almond flour or oat flour if 30g is too rich for you.

Tip: Choose the best quality chocolate you can find to achieve that intense, rich chocolate flavour.

• 4g baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
• 15g honey or pure maple syrup (if you desire extra sweetness)
• A handful of walnuts (optional)

Step 3 Sift in the cocoa powder (and almond flour or oat flour if using) and mix well.

Step 4 Add the honey or pure maple syrup, if using.

Step 5 Stir in the walnuts, if desired.

Step 6 Transfer the mixture to a small baking tray.

Step 7 Top with berries or chocolate chips, if desired.
