Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripened banana
  • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup oat flour (use gluten free oats as necessary)

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • Ice cream (for serving, optional)
  • Peanut butter (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Bowl: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a small oven-safe bowl or Corningware dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Banana: In the prepared bowl, mash the ripened banana thoroughly using the back of a fork to create a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, almond milk, and brown sugar until well combined with the mashed banana.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add baking powder, cocoa powder, and oat flour into the bowl. Stir all ingredients together until the batter is fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Add Walnuts and Toppings: Fold in the walnuts evenly throughout the batter and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top to create a melty topping as it bakes.
  6. Bake: Place the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The brownie should have a gooey center while being cooked through around the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then top with your choice of ice cream and drizzle with peanut butter to enjoy a delicious warm dessert bowl.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar for a natural sweetener alternative.
  • Use gluten-free oat flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Walnuts can be swapped with other nuts like pecans or left out if preferred.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if using a different size or type of bowl to ensure even cooking.
  • Serving with ice cream and peanut butter adds extra richness, but the brownie bowl is delicious on its own as well.
