Chocolate Brownie Pie (Gluten Free)
I love a good chocolate brownie, but I also love a good pie...so the thought of combining the two started creeping into my mind and I thought what could be better! This chocolate brownie pie cimbines a rich good-for-you chocolate brownie with an easy gluten free graham cracker crust.Let's be real, I'm always craving chocolate. I'll take warm chocolate chips, a fudgy brownie and a crunchy crust any time of the day. This chocolate brownie pie is easy to make, only takes 5 minutes to prepare and actually uses better-for-you ingredients! It is gluten free, dairy free and vegan...but you'd never know!
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Graham Cracker Crust (I used Mi-Del Gluten-Free graham cracker crust)
- 2 Ripe Bananas mashed
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips or dairy free chips
Instructions
- Prep the Filling: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the applesauce, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and you have a smooth, brownie-like batter.
- Fill the Crust: Pour the banana-peanut butter mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Top it Off: Remove the pie from the oven. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top immediately to let them naturally melt.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It's delicious warm or at room temperature.
