These four-ingredient brownies are made with only four whole ingredients and come together perfectly. They are moist and completely satisfy the sweet tooth. When you compare the nutrient breakdown to standard brownies, this recipe is higher in protein, fibre and antioxidants and lower in sugar and saturated fats. The sweetness in these brownies comes from over-ripe bananas and a splash of pure maple syrup (less processed and sweeter than white sugar).
