Banana Peanut Butter Brownies

There always seem to be  a few overripened bananas left over at my house.  I always seem to fall back to the same recipes to use up bananas.  My family loves peanut butter and chocolate, so I thought I’d try something new.  These brownies smell heavenly while they are baking, and with the gooey, cakey center, they are sure to be a hit!

Ingredients

Scale

4 very ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 eggs

1 cup flour

½ cup cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

½ cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate)

¼ cup peanut butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork.  Add the sugars, eggs and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add the flour, cocoa and salt and mix until just combined.  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan that is lightly greased.  Put small spoonfuls of peanut butter in six places, spread out, over the top of the batter.  Use a dinner knife two swirl the peanut butter around.  Bake for 30 minutes of until a pick comes out clean in the center.  Enjoy!
