Banana Brownies + Peanut Butter Swirl

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Servings: 25 slices

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter, (chunky or smooth)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×9" cake pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a mixer with the paddle attachment, add ripe bananas. Mix until bananas are mashed. Then add softened butter and espresso powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Add in granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, honey, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix together until well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in the salt, eggs, and flour. Mix again until no clumps are left. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add in the 1/2 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 20 seconds until smooth and liquidy. Then drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter on top of the batter. With a knife, swirl the peanut butter into the batter. Do not over-mix the peanut butter into the batter as you still want the swirls to be visible and stay on top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached.
