Healthy Banana Brownie Tiramisu

Ingredients

• 1 banana (ripe; mash well)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp cacao powder (plus extra for dusting)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 30 ml espresso (essential for texture)
• sweetener (of your choice; optional but recommended for the espresso)
• 100 g Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp sweetener (for the yogurt cream)
• vanilla extract (a splash)

Steps

1. 1

   In a container or baking pan, mash the ripe banana well until smooth. If your banana isn't very ripe, add a little sweetener at this stage.

2. 2

   Add the egg, cacao powder, and baking powder to the mashed banana. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. 3

   Bake in a preheated oven or air fryer for about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave the mixture for 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Before the brownie base completely cools, use a fork to poke several holes across the surface. Pour the 30ml of espresso (mixed with sweetener if desired) over the top, ensuring it soaks in.

5. 5

   Allow the base to cool completely before adding the topping.

6. 6

   Prepare the yogurt cream by mixing the Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of sweetener, and a splash of vanilla extract.

7. 7

   Spread the yogurt cream over the cooled brownie base and dust with a layer of cacao powder.

8. 8

   For the best texture, let the dish chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to allow it to become fudgy and moist.

Notes

Chilling for a few hours is highly recommended for a fudgy, dessert-like texture. Do not skip the espresso soak as it provides essential moisture to the flourless base.
