Ingredients

Scale

Banana Mixture

3 large Ripe Bananas

Main Ingredients

4 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Unsalted Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6-inch brownie pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Set it aside.
Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until you get a smooth puree without large chunks.
Mix Batter: Add the peanut butter and unsweetened cocoa powder to the mashed bananas. Using a silicone spatula, stir until the mixture resembles a brownie batter. It’s okay if some banana pieces remain but ensure the batter isn’t dry. If too dry, add more mashed banana or a splash of almond milk to adjust consistency.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dairy-free dark chocolate chips evenly into the batter for delightful pockets of melted chocolate within your brownies.
Pour and Top: Transfer the batter into the prepared brownie pan. For extra indulgence, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Cool: Allow the brownies to cool on a cooling rack for 20 minutes before slicing and serving to let the texture set.

Notes

Use ripe bananas to ensure natural sweetness and moisture.
If the batter is too dry, add additional mashed banana or almond milk to achieve the right texture.
You can substitute peanut butter with any other nut or seed butter for variation.
Ensure to use dairy-free chocolate chips for a vegan-friendly dessert.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
