Just like you, I frequently have a sweet tooth. And I LOVE brownies! Do you remember those ones our moms used to pack for us for lunch? They looked just like the ones pictured above but they were kind of rubbery and utterly delicious. I wanted to make something similar for Hudson, but without all the nasty additives and chemicals. So I played around with several different mixtures and finally found one we all loved. Here is my:
Healthy Brownie Recipe
- 1 Banana
- 1TBSP Butter- softened
- 1 TSP Oil
- 3 Egg Whites
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Cocoa Powder (I use the Dark Cocoa Powder from Trader Joes- linked below)
- 2 Scoops Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1/3 Cup Wheat Flower
- 1 TSP Baking Soda
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a brownie pan using extra butter.
- Mush banana until there are no clumps. Add the softened butter, oil and egg whites.
- Beat the mixture until fluffy. Slowly add the baking soda, cocoa powder, protein powder, sugar, and wheat flower.
- Continue mixing until shiny and well mixed. Pour into pan and place in the oven.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick into the center of the mixture and take out without any brownie being stuck to it.
