Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 pieces ripe bananas very ripe, with brown speckles for the best sweetness and flavor
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder use good-quality natural or Dutch-processed for deeper flavor
Optional Sweeteners and Enhancers
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey to increase sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance flavor
  • pinch salt optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and place the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork until mostly smooth but with a few small lumps for texture.
Mixing
  1. Add the peanut butter and the cocoa powder to the mashed bananas. Stir vigorously until the mixture is homogeneous and glossy.
  2. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. A toothpick or skewer inserted into the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  2. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
