Ingredients
US Customary – Metric
Wet ingredients
- 2 large Ripe Banana – (7.4 oz)
- ½ cup Melted Coconut Oil
- ½ cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Dry ingredients
- ½ cup Coconut Sugar – or cane sugar or white sugar – up to 3/4 cup for a sweeter taste
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ¾ cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – or all-purpose gluten free flour
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
To decorate
- ¼ cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted)
Instructions
-
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch brownie pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a high-speed blender, add ripe banana pieces, coconut oil, peanut butter, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and rolled oats. If you want to use all-purpose flour, don’t add in the blender, or the brownie will be ultra gummy. Set aside in a bowl and blend the remaining ingredients
-
Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined with no lumps. You may have to stop the blender a few times, scrape down the side of the jug, and repeat, or use the tamper attachment tool to push ingredients next to the blade.
-
If you used all-purpose flour, transfer the batter onto the bowl with flour, stir to combine, and form a thick batter.
-
Transfer the brownie batter onto the prepared pan.
-
Use a spoon to add dollops of peanut butter on top of the batter.
-
Use a skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter and create a swirl effect.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the batter is set – if you move the pan the batter won’t jiggle or move.
-
-
Let the brownies cool down for 10 minutes in the pan, then pull out the hanging pieces of parchment paper to transfer the brownie onto a cooling rack.
-
Cool completely – about 1 hour at room temperature – before cutting into 16 squares.
Storage
-
Store brownies in an airtight box in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze.
