Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas mashed (about 1.5 cups)
- 1 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter
- 2 to 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup optional
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup chocolate chips optional
Optional Additions:
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8” x 8” square pan with parchment paper.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until they are very creamy (if you don’t mind chunks of banana, you can leave them chunky, but I like to mash them well).
- Add in the peanut butter, pure maple syrup, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the mixing bowl (the remaining ingredients) and stir well until a thick brownie batter forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips (if adding) until they are well-incorporated throughout the brownie batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Spread it into an even layer, and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips on top of the batter if you’d like.
- Bake brownies for 20 to 25 minutes or until they look set up.
- Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. If you’d like, you can sprinkle them with a little flaky sea salt or even powdered sugar.
- Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (I'd go with a sugar-free dairy-free ice cream) for a real good time.
Notes
- Use any nut or seed butter you like, such as almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter in place of peanut butter.
- Store brownies in an airtight container (or zip lock bag) in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. These brownies freeze very well! Simply freeze them in a freezer bag (or airtight bag) for up to 3 months.
