Get ready to enjoy the incredible texture of these fudgy, chocolatey banana brownies! With every bite, you'll experience the richness of chocolate and the natural sweetness of banana.
Ingredients
Dry
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour (or oat flour or white whole wheat flour)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (30g)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Wet
- 1 cup mashed banana (240g)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (125g)
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan and then line with a piece of parchment paper with some overhang on the sides.
- Mash bananas in a large bowl using the back of a fork or a potato masher. Measure out 1 cup. Combine with the rest of the wet ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the cocoa mixture. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the brownies from the oven. Allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack before slicing with a knife. It will allow for a cleaner cut.
Notes
- For softer, fudgy brownies, bake for 18-20 minutes. For firmer brownies bake for 25 minutes.
- Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. They taste great cold! The brownies will get even fudgier.
