Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Ripe means the peel is speckled or mostly brown — they provide sweetness, moisture, and structure.
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder Unsweetened cocoa provides chocolate flavor without extra sugar.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Brings richness and fudgy texture; choose smooth for an even batter.

  3. Stir in the cocoa powder and peanut butter until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the brownies are set.
