A few months ago, Erik and I got to thinking about how many banana recipes are on the blog… I mean, there are A LOT. See:

And you love them. And you always, always want more.

But one thing we didn’t have on Beaming Baker? Banana Brownies! I mean, what’s not to love? Chocolate: check! Bananas: check! Brownies: double check.

So why not create one that would make you forget all other vegan banana brownies recipes ever even existed? That’s what today’s banana brownie recipe is all about. It’s decadent, it’s rich, and it’s unbelievably delicious.

Plus, it’s vegan. Made with simple, whole ingredients. And it’s gluten free. What more could ya need?

How to Make Vegan Banana Brownies

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. 

Prep the Wet Ingredients

Peel, then mash bananas using a pastry cutter (I highly recommend this) or a fork (which will drive you crazy lol) in a large bowl. Add the rest of the wet ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk everything together until well mixed. 

Sift the Dry Ingredients

Sift the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl: oat flour, cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Combine

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk it all together until well incorporated. Fold in vegan chocolate chips

Pour Batter

Pour your vegan banana brownie batter into the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer and top with chocolate chips. 

Bake, Cool and Enjoy

Bake for about 35 minutes. Cool banana brownies until completely cool for clean slicing. Slice and enjoy the best vegan banana brownies ever!

Texture: thick squares of super moist chocolate banana brownies. Melt-in-your-mouth moist and rich. Super fudgy, but still a little fluffy with a soft, tender crumb.

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or greased foil.  Set aside.
  • Peel bananas and add to a large mixing bowl. Using a sturdy whisk or fork, mash bananas until smooth. Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together oat flour, cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in vegan chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Optionally, sprinkle with chocolate chips and lightly press down into batter.
  • Bake 30-40 for minutes. Mine took 35 minutes. Cool in pan placed on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Pinch parchment paper & lift banana brownies + paper onto cooling rack to complete cooling, about 1-2 additional hours. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

A Note on Homemade Oat Flour: *If using homemade oat flour, make sure to blend the flour until very fine and sift the flour to remove coarse bits of oats that could create less than ideal results. Store until needed, then measure the amount required for the recipe.
Storing Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Freezing Instructions: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes, or pop in the microwave for 30 seconds or more.

    Hi. These look amazing. Can I use a different oil or oil/applesauce combo to sub for coconut oil. I am allergic.
    Thanks so much.
    Jennifer

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Jennifer! I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve had other readers use avocado oil or canola oil in my other brownie recipes with good results, while others have used vegan butter. If you try it with a different oil, let me know how it turns out! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hello! Looks amazing. Can I use a real egg instead of the flax business if I don’t need them to be vegan?

      Hi Andrew! I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve had some readers do that in other recipes with good results. Let me know how it goes!
