Who else loves the Banana + chocolate combo?!? Well continuing on my choc banana frenzy, I’m very happy to present to you these super moist vegan Chunky Monkey Protein brownies! I happened to have some super ripe bananas handy and so this was a great way to use them up.
Conveniently, the mashed ripe bananas act as both an egg and oil replacer, as well as natural sweetener, thus making this brownie healthier!
Here is the recipe:
