Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe bananas Heavily spotted for maximum sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter Or any nut butter of your choice.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch baking pan
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the brownies out later.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are mostly smooth with few lumps.
  3. Add the creamy peanut butter to the mashed bananas and stir until well combined and the mixture is uniform.
  4. Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder. Gently fold it into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and slicing into 9 squares.

Notes

For best results, use natural, creamy nut butter without added sugars.
Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape.
Feel free to stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
