Instructions:
- Prepare the Nut Base:
- In a food processor, blend the mixed nuts or peanuts until they form a coarse crumb. If you prefer larger chunks for added texture, pulse the nuts to your desired consistency.
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana puree with the cocoa powder. Mix well until the cocoa is fully incorporated, and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the blended nuts, and mix until everything is well combined. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add in the maple syrup or agave syrup, along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Form the Brownies:
- Line a small baking dish (8×8 inches works well) with parchment paper. Pour the brownie mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
- You can use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth the top.
- Chill:
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the brownies are firm enough to slice.
- Serve:
- Once the brownies are set, remove them from the fridge and cut them into squares. You can enjoy them immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
These brownies are rich, fudgy, and packed with natural flavors, making them a perfect guilt-free dessert. Enjoy!
