Can I replace bananas with another ingredient?

If you're looking to replace the bananas, you might experiment with applesauce or mashed sweet potatoes as they both provide natural sweetness and moisture. However, this might slightly change the flavor and texture of the brownies. Keep in mind that bananas impart a unique banana flavor that complements the chocolate well.

How should I store these brownies?

Once cooled, store your Vegan Flourless Banana Brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Are these brownies really flourless?

Yes, these brownies are completely flourless, relying on the starches in the bananas for their structure. This is what makes them so fudgy and moist, setting them apart from traditional brownies.

Can I add nuts or seeds to the recipe?

Absolutely! Adding nuts like walnuts or pecans can introduce a delightful crunch and added nutrition. Just fold them in with the chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor without compromising the brownie base.

What is a good serving size for these brownies?

A good serving size is usually a square cut from the 8x8 pan, providing a satisfying treat without going overboard. Each square is packed with flavor and nutrition, making it a great option for a snack or dessert.
