- In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash together the bananas, almond butter, coconut oil, almond milk, sugar and salt until almost smooth and just a few lumps remain.
- Add the almond flour, oats and baking powder. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until combined. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- To the remaining batter, add the cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the plain batter and spread gently.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until just set. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Store the brownies in an airtight container in the fridge.
