My husband and kids all loved these healthy brownies – I call that a huge win!! Healthy and family approved?! I think you need to make these!
My husband is pretty quick to turn up his nose when it comes to heathy recipes – especially desserts, so when he gave these 2 thumbs up I was thrilled!
I love having healthy options for snacks and desserts for my family. It’s so easy to reach for junk food when you’re hungry, but with a pan of these on the counter it will be easy to choose the healthier option 😉
These healthy brownies do contain bananas, and you can taste them. Just an FYI for those of you who have a banana aversion. Chocolate is definitely the number one flavor here, but you will notice some banana.
These have an awesome fudge texture, very much like traditional brownies. They are great at room temperature, but please try them warm, too. The chocolate gets all melty and gooey, and I promise you won’t know you’re eating something good for you!
