These Chocolate Workout Brownies are a healthy snack option made with overripe mashed bananas or applesauce, nut butter, cocoa powder, and protein powder. They promise to be fudgy and are best when chilled overnight, enhancing their sweetness.
1: Preheat oven to 325°F.
2: Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

4: Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
5: Stir until completely smooth, and spread into the prepared pan.
6: Bake on the center rack for 20-25 minutes (20 for super fudgy brownies).

8: Enjoy the brownies as a healthy snack.
