Fudgy Peanut Butter Banana Brownies on plate Peanut butter and bananas are one of my favourite combinations. Here, I've put super ripe bananas inside of these brownies alongside the peanut butter to make for a super decadent treat. Using these ingredients allows you to cut down on other added fat and sugar content, too.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

10 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
2 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Melt the chocolate in the microwave on high for 30 second increments until smooth.

Stir the butter into the warm chocolate. Set aside to cool.

In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.

Whisk in the eggs and add vanilla.

Stir in the brown sugar.

Stir in the chocolate mixture.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder.

Stir these dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Mix in the chopped nuts.

Grease a 9x9 in. baking pan and pour in the brownie batter. Spread around so it's even.

Heat the peanut butter in the microwave until it's soft and smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds.

Make horizontal lines of peanut butter across the top of the brownie batter.

Now take a chopstick or knife and pull vertical lines through the batter towards you and away from you, alternating.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool, then cut into bars.

I love having the peanut butter act as an icing on top, but you can also stir the peanut butter into the batter. Enjoy!

Looking and looking - where is Attosa and her recipes??
Now I know - you have been eating too many of your own creations!

I do like the sounds and looks of this fudge but I'll leave out the nuts - seems like I already have too many of those around here; - but - I'm sure

we'll never miss them.
Thanks for sharing your tasty creations.
You're the best - hope your family Thanksgiving is wonderful.

Awwww thanks for looking for me, Betty! We have been having some bad times with health in the family so I've been busier trying to help out-- less time in the kitchen and craft room. Hope it can even out sometime soon! You should definitely try this. My husband HATES bananas and peanut butter mixed into his desserts for some reason, and he ate half this!!!!!
