Choco-Banana Peanut Butter Brownies

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

2.In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.

3.Add the natural peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the batter is smooth.

4.Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

5.Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

7.Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.

8.Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares and serving.
