• 1 cup mashed banana

• ½ cup nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew, other)

• ¼ cocoa powder

• ½ cup protein powder

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. 

2. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

3. In a high-speed blender or mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients and blend or mix until smooth.

4. Transfer the brownie batter to the lined pan and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are firm.

5. Remove the brownies from the oven and gently press down on the tops to form a crackly top. 

6. Let them cool completely before slicing and serving.
