Peanut Butter Banana Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 large bananas

  (browned & over-ripe)
• 1 ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup butter

  (melted)
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9x13 baking pan with
  butter, oil, or non-stick cooking spray.
• 2 (optional - if your peanut butter is refrigerated) In a small bowl add peanut
  butter and place in microwave. In short bursts of 15-30 seconds heat peanut
  butter just enough to make it soft and spreadable. Set aside.
• 3 In a large mixing bowl mash the over ripe bananas, then add the 1 ¼ cups sugar,
  ½ cup melted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Stir to
  combine.
• 4 Next sift in the flour and cocoa powder. Fold in without over-mixing.
• 5 Once combined, pour the brownie mixture into your prepared 9x13 baking pan.
• 6 Add spoon fulls of the ½ cup room temperature or softened creamy peanut butter
  and then use a butter knife to swirl in the peanut butter.
• 7 Place baking tray into your 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) preheated oven for
  25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out without wet batter. *The
  longer you bake your brownies the more 'set' they will be. Slightly under-baked
  yields fudgier brownies.
• 8 Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
