These vegan sugar-free brownies are made with wholesome ingredients. They’re rich, fudgy, and loaded with chocolate flavor.

For a fully added-sugar-free version, I used Lakanto syrup and chocolate chips, which are naturally sweetened with monkfruit.

If you do not have sugar-free ingredients on hand, you can use regular chocolate chips and syrup instead; the brownies will turn out delicious either way!

I personally think the bananas should not be swapped out because they provide a lot of sweetness and moisture that are difficult to find elsewhere. If you really cannot use bananas for this recipe, I would suggest substituting them with about 1 cup of applesauce or pumpkin puree. The brownies will turn out less sweet (unless you add more sweetener or chocolate chips).

    These are great. I used 1cup mashed banana. Used dark karo syrup. Added 1tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. The batter was really the consistency of cake batter so I did not add the milk. Used peanut butter. Taste and texture is great.
