3 ripe bananas (about 1.5 cups mashed)

½ cup natural peanut butter

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

2 tbsp chopped walnuts

Select allAdd

1. Preheat your oven to 350F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, add your bananas and use a fork to mash well. Make sure there are no lumps.

3. To the mashed banana add peanut butter and cocoa powder. Stir until fully combined. Mix in chocolate chips (if using).

4. Pour batter into the parchment paper lined baking pan, spreading evenly. Top with additional chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) bake for 17-22 minutes (I find about 20 minutes is perfect in my oven). Allow to cool FULLY before cutting. Note that the brownies will be very soft when initially removed from the oven but they will continue to cook while they cool. Slice into 9 equal sized squares and enjoy!

Notes:

I treat this 3 ingredient brownie recipe as a base and switch up the mix-ins. Here's how you can adjust the recipe to fit your tastes:

Looking for sweeter brownies? Use 2 bananas and ¼ cup of maple syrup

Looking for an indulgent option? Sprinkle with some flakey sea salt and drizzle with melted chocolate after baking

Looking for protein-rich brownies? Substitute some of the cocoa powder with chocolate protein powder. I recommend: ¼ cup chocolate protein powder and 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Looking for a bit of spice? Add ¼ teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper into the batter
