Nutritional Facts:
Bananas are not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients. They’re a good source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and dietary fibre. Plus, bananas contain antioxidants that help protect your body from oxidative stress.
Cocoa powder is another star ingredient in these brownies, providing a rich chocolate flavour along with antioxidants and flavonoids that may benefit heart health.
With the addition of eggs for protein and erythritol as a low-calorie sweetener, these brownies are a healthier alternative to traditional recipes, without compromising on flavour or texture.
Tips to Make This Recipe:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavour and sweetness.
- Be sure to mash the bananas well to ensure a smooth batter.
- If you prefer a less sweet brownie, you can reduce the amount of sweetener to taste.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking – chopped almonds, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of peanut butter would all be delicious additions.
- If the Tahini caramel is too dense, you can a splash of water (try adding by teaspoons) to make it more runny and easier to drizzle.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I substitute the sweetener with sugar?
Yes, you can use granulated sugar or any other sweetener of your choice instead of erythritol.
Can I bake these brownies in the oven instead of using the microwave?
I haven’t test this recipe on a regular oven, but if you want to try, I would suggest pouring the batter into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
How should I store these brownies?
Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
