Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, or nut butter of choice
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth. The riper they are, the sweeter your brownies will be.
- Stir in the peanut butter (or nut butter of choice) until fully combined.
- Add the cocoa powder and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Pour into a lined or greased baking tin.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before slicing (this helps them firm up).
Notes
Tips for the Best Healthy Brownies
Use overripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness.
For extra indulgence, stir in dark chocolate chips.
Almond butter or cashew butter works beautifully if you want a peanut-free option.
Let them cool completely for a fudgier texture.
