Ingredients to Love
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
Let’s Get Swirling!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, blend the peanut butter and mashed banana until smooth.
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter and banana mixture onto the brownie batter, using a knife to swirl it into a beautiful marble pattern. Don’t worry about making it perfect—each swirl is a unique touch!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Remember, we’re going for fudgy here.
- Let your brownies cool in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of peanut butter and banana with every bite!
