Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe bananas (ca. 7 oz / 200 g)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (3.5 oz / 100 g)
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (2.1 oz / 60 g)
• 2/3 cup spelt flour type 630 (2.8 oz / 80 g)
• 1/2 cup ground almonds (1.8 oz / 50 g)
• 2 eggs size M
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) top/bottom heat and line a small brownie pan (ca. 8 x 8 inches / 20 x 20 cm) with parchment paper.
2. Peel the bananas and mash them very finely in a large bowl with a fork.
3. Add the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix everything thoroughly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, spelt flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir everything into a smooth batter.
6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
7. Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes. They are done when only a few moist crumbs stick to a wooden skewer.
8. Remove the brownies from the oven, let them cool completely, and then cut them into pieces.

Tip

For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can fold chopped, sugar-free dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa) into the batter.
