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.

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.

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!
Easy and so good! Mix the brownies according to directions for the cake like brownies. Put in cupcake liners in muffin pan. Bake according to directions, usually about 30 minutes.
Cream the margarine, peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder; add slowly to creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips; pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees F.
