Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (peels at least partially brown, frozen)
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (or allergy-friendly substitute, 45g)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (20g)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (optional)
Brownies

Instructions
- Prepare Bananas: Ensure the bananas are ripe with partially brown peels. Peel them and place in the freezer until fully frozen. This can be done days or even months ahead for convenience.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, food processor, or Vitamix, combine the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, salt, and optional chocolate protein powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Brownie Pieces: Stir in bite-sized pieces of brownies into the blended mixture to add texture and enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Serve and Garnish: Optionally, garnish with chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or any toppings of your choice before serving immediately for a delightful frozen dessert.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Freezing bananas well in advance makes preparation quick and easy.
- The peanut butter can be substituted with allergy-friendly alternatives like almond butter or sunflower seed butter as needed.
- Adding chocolate protein powder is optional but boosts the protein content.
- Store leftover brownie blizzard in the freezer, stirring well before serving again.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free brownies.
