Description

These 3-ingredient banana brownies are quick, healthy, and guilt-free! Made with ripe bananas, peanut butter, and cocoa powder, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion. No flour, no refined sugar, just pure goodness!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder

Optional Toppings:

  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 6-hole muffin tray or a small square baking dish with oil or butter to prevent sticking.

  • Prepare the Bananas:
    Peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl. The riper, the better! You can also use a food processor for a smoother texture.

  • Mix the Ingredients:
    Add the peanut butter and cocoa powder to the mashed bananas. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined into a thick batter.

  • Optional Add-Ins:
    If you like, fold in some chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.

  • Bake:
    Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The brownies should rise and firm up on the edges. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.

  • Cool and Serve:
    Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares or muffin-sized portions. Enjoy as a snack, dessert, or healthy treat!

Notes

  • Texture Variation: If the batter seems too thick, you can add a small splash of almond milk or water to loosen it up.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or refrigerate for longer storage. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months.
