Description
Rich, soft brownies combining banana, chocolate, and peanut butter for a fudgy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 100 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 225 g unsalted butter
- 350 g granulated sugar
- 300 g dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g natural peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ยฐF. Line a 9×9″ square pan with parchment paper on the bottom and all sides. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add ripe bananas and mash with the back of a fork. Add the egg and whisk until combined.
- Add cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk again until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan on low-medium heat, melt butter, sugar, and dark chocolate, stirring until most of the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot and glossy.
- Slowly stream the warm chocolate mixture into the bowl of the banana mixture while whisking constantly. Keep whisking until combined.
- Finally, add the flour and whisk until just combined and no large flour patches remain.
- Pour the brownie batter into your lined pan. Use an offset spatula to spread the batter into the corners and edges.
- Transfer the peanut butter to a piping bag or ziploc bag. If too stiff, warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Pipe it across the top of the brownie batter and swirl it together using a chopstick.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and moist.
- Immediately sprinkle the top with flaky salt and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours, until completely cool.
- Once chilled, release the brownie from the pan and cut into 9 squares. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
