Method

8 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C/gas 4 and lightly grease a skillet or ramekin (approximately 14cm or 5 ½ inches in diameter).

  2. Step 2

    Melt together the coconut oil and half the chocolate and pour into a large bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add the coconut sugar, almond or cashew butter, vanilla and mashed banana and whisk until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the cacao powder, oat flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and stir to a smooth, thick batter (do not overmix). Fold in the rest of the chocolate chips and the dark chocolate covered banana pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Pour into the skillet/ramekin and smooth the top, sprinkle on extra chocolate, if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 18 mins or until crisping at the edges, but tender and gooey in the middle.

  7. Step 7

    Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve with ice cream and extra Natures Heart Dark Chocolate Banana's, if you like.

  8. Step 8

    Once cool, this brownie will keep for 1-2 days in the fridge wrapped well, although it’s best eaten straight away. You can also freeze the brownie, de-frosting to eat the same day. To warm back up, pop it in the oven, covered for 5 mins or microwave for 10 second intervals until warm.
