3-Ingredient Fudgy Brownies (gluten-free, vegan, paleo)

3-Ingredient Fudgy Brownies (gluten-free, vegan, paleo)

I’ve been focussing on eating less processed, more whole, and lower-sugar foods this summer. A few months ago, I found myself eating way too many “healthier” processed foods and not paying attention to added sugar in anything. I’ve been focussing on eating more “real-food” protein sources instead of relying on my protein powders or snack bars. I feel a lot better. I hardly ever need my afternoon cup of coffee, and I don’t experience the “sugar crash” at the end of the day.three-ingredient brownies, 3-ingredient brownies- paleo brownies, whole30 brownies, whole30 compliant, whole30 ingredients, whole30 cravings, whole30 dessert, low carb, Whole Foods, dairy free, organic, vegan, plant based, low calorie, healthier food, summer, light, trick your kids, banana, cashew, nut butter, almond butter, banana, low carb, plant based desserts, baking, healthy food, back to school treats, vegan cosmic brownie, gluten free, dairy free, no peanuts, legume free, diet, weight loss brownies, healthy snacking
These 3-ingredient brownies are WHOLE as it gets. A few years ago, I was on peanut butter and banana brownie kick. I made a recipe similar to this one with peanut butter, brownie, egg, and sweet potatoes. It was one of my favorites! Since I needed to use up the bananas before they went bad, I decided to make a similar recipe using only two other ingredients: almond butter & banana.

These brownies are going to impress you! They are fudgy, super chocolatey, and just as sweet as the real deal. We don’t give bananas enough credit for their sugary goodness. You could probably trick your kiddos into thinking that they are eating the most demanded brownies. The top of the brownie’s texture reminded me of those cosmic brownies I used to eat as a kid.

This recipe makes 12 brownies, and the nutrition facts are pretty good!

    All I can say is bravo. We made these last night and my three year old ate half the batch. We will be making these again. I love all of your recipes, Taralynn.

    These look super yummy! My goal is to start eating healthier and finding healthier-versions of my favorite sweet treats. I’ll definitely give this recipe a try soon!

  5. Hello Taralynn,

    I will put this recipe in my “to-do list”, the texture seems incredible.

    1. I cook very often a 3 ingredients “vegetable cream” : rice milk + almond cream + a vegetable (carotts work very well). Fast, healthy, delicious. I also add the spice of my choice.
    2. More than an healthier season, the period plays an important role : it is difficult to maintain a healthy diet during the Christmas season, or in holidays, when you just want to taste everything because everything is a discovery.
    3. I prefer brownies without walnut, not because I don’t like it, but because chocolate recipes contains enough fat with the chocolate + almond cream/butter combo. Adding oleaginous seems then “too much” and can tire the liver. For me, the fewer ingredients, the better : for the taste and for our body (when the combo is simple, our body can digest it easier).

    I agree, adding sugar is unnecessary in the presence of a naturally sweet fruit such as banana !

  7. Please blog your sweet potato brownie recipe. These look good and as a type1 diabetic I thank you for using bananas, they offer sweetness as well.

    I use these same ingredients to make chocolate pudding so I knew these would be good! Mine took a little longer to bake because I didn’t have the right pan. Lol They turned out super fudgey! I’ll definitely be baking these again!

    Omg, these were amazing! I have made a lot of paleo desserts over the years and this might be the best one. Even better after being in the fridge overnight. Almost like the top had frosting on it! Thanks for the great recipe!
