Ingredients and Their Health Benefits

Main Ingredients:

• 1 Ripe Banana: Naturally sweet and loaded with potassium, fiber, and vitamins, bananas help bind the brownies while adding moisture and natural sweetness.
• 2.5 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Rich in antioxidants and low in carbs, cocoa powder brings a deep, chocolatey flavor and a health boost.
• 2.5 tbsp Peanut Butter: A source of healthy fats and protein, peanut butter provides creaminess and a nutty flavor to balance the chocolate.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: Adds melty, chocolatey pockets without increasing carbs.
• Sweetener (e.g., Monk Fruit or Erythritol): For those who prefer a sweeter bite, this keeps the recipe keto-friendly.
• Chopped Walnuts: Enhances texture and adds healthy omega-3 fats.
• Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: Adds a tropical flavor and extra fiber.
• Vanilla Extract: Elevates the flavor with a warm, aromatic depth.
• Sea Salt Flakes: Creates a balanced sweet-and-salty flavor profile.
