NOTES: 

• We used a fresh banana but you can sub frozen and use less ice if you prefer.  
• This recipe is sweetened with one date, but you can sub maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, or skip the sweetener all together. 
• If you want a more chocolatey smoothie, add more cacao powder. 
• If you like peanut butter (who doesn’t?) we recommend drizzling peanut butter into your glass for an extra decadent smoothie 
• Makes 1 serving 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Blend all the ingredients until smooth, adding as much ice as needed to get the desired consistency. 
2. Garnish with toppings of your choice such as cherries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, or peanut syrup. 
3. Serve and enjoy! 

How can a brownie taste good without sugar? Half an overripe banana. It’s like magic! 

Want something sweet in a pinch? Check out our microwave recipe that takes less than two minutes. Not in a rush? Use your oven for a fluffier brownie!  

Microwave users beware – you may be tempted to make it every night! 

NOTES: 

• We divided our batter into two oven-safe ramekins and cooked one in the oven and one in the microwave. Both versions tasted amazing! The microwave version came out a bit denser while the oven-baked version was fluffier and rose higher. But once you dig your spoon in your taste buds won’t mind the difference. 
• If you like sweeter brownies, feel free to add a teaspoon of maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar. These are naturally sweetened with the overripe banana.  
• While most oats are gluten-free, some may contain gluten. If you have a gluten allergy, make sure to purchase gluten-free oats. 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. If cooking in an oven, preheat to 350. 
2. Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a blender & blend until smooth. 
3. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish. Pour batter into the dish and top with chocolate chips. 
4. If baking in an oven, bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  
5. If using a microwave, heat for 45 seconds, check and if it still looks raw, continue cooking ten seconds at a time until a toothpick comes out clean. 
6. Serve and enjoy!
