What could be better than a chocolate brownie? A brownie that would taste like Nutella AND that would be healthy! Could a brownie without sugar and without four even exist? YES!
This recipe makes a fantastic chocolate brownie, and it is way healthier and more satisfying than the regular version. The magic comes from the combination of cocoa with hazelnut butter.
It doesn’t contain any sugar nor sugar replacement nor any type of white flour and only contains whole single-item minimally processed ingredients.
You can actually control the sweetness depending on the ripeness of the bananas. If they are still yellow, the brownie will be slightly sweet. If the bananas are getting all brown and mushy, the brownie may actually be too sweet for your taste!
