Tips for Making these Brownies
- Make sure the melted coconut oil is not hot or you will cook the eggs.
- If you are having difficulty spreading the batter into the baking dish, wet a silicone spatula a bit to make your life easier.
- Do not overcook the brownies. Take them out of the oven when they are slightly undercooked in the middle. It's important to note that they will continue to cook for a little when removed from the oven. An overcooked brownie will be dry and crumbly, rather than fudgy.
How to Store Brownies
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature and enjoy within 1-2 days.
- To freeze, wrap each individual brownie in plastic wrap. Place the brownies into a freezer bag. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

OH I love these! I made for my husband and I and used the frozen bananas for ice cream. Delicious 🤤 !
Yay! So glad they were a hit. 🙂

Another tasty Frozen Bananas recipe! I cut the sugar to around 1/3 cup and still loved them! The batter is SO tasty!! My only complaint was there was a lot of oil left on top when they came out of the oven but I’m guessing that was user error and I did too much.
Overall, Give these a try they are yummy!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and rating, Erin! I appreciate you. I always recommend sticking to the recipe for best results. I assume this happened because there wasn't enough sugar to oil ratio. If you cut down the sugar, I recommend cutting down on the oil also. I noticed that brownies are the one dessert that is very hard to cut down on the sugar because it really contributes to the texture. I'm glad you still enjoyed though! 🙂
