Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with foil and lightly grease it.
Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
These brownies have a subtle sweetness; if you prefer a sweeter treat, drizzle melted chocolate or add a light frosting on top rather than mixing sweeteners into the batter.
If you're not a fan of banana, you can substitute pumpkin or sweet potato for a slightly different texture and flavor.
Want a stronger chocolate flavor? Increase the cocoa powder slightly and blend longer for even distribution.
No blender? Mix by hand, though expect the batter to have a few small lumps.
