This ultra dense brownie bake is about as healthy as it gets! Sweetened with overripe bananas and a small amount of pure maple syrup, we think it’s passable for breakfast. Be sure to use very ripe, spotty, almost black bananas for the sweetest flavour. It's great for a healthy snack or breakfast when you want something that feels indulgent without sabotaging your healthy eating plans, and its dense texture makes it quite filling too. I love it topped with Coconut Whipped Cream (homemade or store-bought) and fresh berries.

Total Time
40 Minutes
Ingredients:
For the brownie bake:
- 1 3/4 cups (255 g) chopped very ripe banana (3 medium [385 g total] bananas)*
- 1/2 cup (68 g) gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 cup (120 g) smooth almond butter
- 6 tablespoons (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons (45 mL) pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
For topping:
- Coconut Whipped Cream
- Chopped nuts, toasted if desired
- Fresh berries
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease 4 small ramekins with oil and place them onto a baking sheet.
- Add all of the bake ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Divide the batter among the ramekins, adding about 1/2 cup (125 mL) batter per ramekin.
- Bake for around 30 to 35 minutes, until the tops slowly spring back when pressed lightly with a finger. The tops will also be lightly cracked.
- Place the ramekins onto a cooling rack for 30 minutes or so.
- Using a butter knife, loosen the cake from the edges of the ramekin and pop out onto a plate. Top with coconut whipped cream, nuts, and berries. It's also lovely spread with nut or seed butter and jam. Leftovers can be wrapped up and stored in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for a couple weeks or longer.
* Be sure to use overripe, black and spotty bananas for the sweetest flavour.
