These Peanut Butter Banana Brownies are the perfect way to use up those ripe bananas you have sitting around. These brownies are rich, delicious and so fudgy.

Call me crazy but I feel like Bananas, Peanut Butter and Chocolate is probably one of the greatest flavor combinations. These Peanut Butter Banana Brownies have a lovely chocolaty flavor with hints of banana and the sweet/saltiness of the Peanut Butter.

Now, don’t be thrown off by the name, it may sound all complicated but these brownies come together in about 30 minutes or so and only require a handful of ingredients.

One of the best things about this brownie recipe is that it is slightly cakey but also maintains a fudginess to it because of the bananas.

For the recipe, you can certainly use a stand mixer if you would like, but honestly one bowl is fine here as well.

Can I use Natural Peanut Butter ?

I honestly wouldn’t use Natural Peanut Butter in this recipe. Natural Peanut Butter separates too much in my opinion so I would stick to Jif or something similar.

How long do the brownies stay fresh?

The brownies will stay fresh for 1-3 days after baking. Simply place in a airtight container to ensure the brownies stay fresh.
