Ingredients
3 large ripe bananas
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter (unsalted)
1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas into a smooth puree.
Add peanut butter and cocoa powder. Stir until a thick, brownie-like batter forms.
If the batter is too dry, add a bit more mashed banana or a splash of almond milk to loosen it.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Transfer batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
Natural peanut butter works best for a smooth batter.
These brownies are soft and fudgy rather than cakey.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
