    Raise your hand if you have some sad, spotty brown bananas at home.

    Raise your hand if you are sick of banana bread.
    [Put your hand down! Unacceptable. Banana bread is life.]

    Raise your hand if you already made banana bread and *still * have browning bananas way past their prime.
    [It’s okay. This is a safe space. Me too. ]

    Enter Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Brownies!

    Banana BROWNIES?!! Yeah.

    These Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Brownies are rich and chewy! The perfect combination of flavors! Plus a new way to use up those over-ripe bananas on your counter!

    Chocolate; Peanut Butter; Banana: the trifecta of awesome.
    I took one of my all time favorite combos and stuffed it into a brownie.
    You’re welcome.

    These are rich, fudgy brownes. No light cakey stuff around here.
    No ma’am.

    The bananas make these extra moist and super fudgy. So much so they almost seem under-baked, but they aren’t. They are just to die for chewy. And we all need some of that in our lives!

    These brownies have that beautiful crispy top and soft, chewy interior. The swirls of peanut butter are the only interruption to the triple chocolate brownie perfection.

    These decadent brownies have both cocoa powder and melted chocolate in the batter AND, in case that just wasn’t chocolatey enough for you (when is it ever, honestly?), some extra chocolate chips are studded throughout.

    The banana flavor is present but not overpowering. In each bite you get serious chocolate, banana and a little bit of the peanut butter swirl. Oh and a sprinkle of Maldon sea salt just to finish it off.

    Salty, sweet, rich, chewy and creamy. Good stuff, guys. Good stuff.

    You know what else is kinda cool about these brownies? Eggs are the only leavening. It makes the combination method a little bit interesting, but the results are pure bliss.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2¼ cup Semi-Sweet chocolate (chopped)
    • 1 cup butter
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla
    • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons All-Purpose flour
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder (I used Dutch processed)
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 2 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
    • 6 eggs
    • 1 ¼ cup ripe bananas (smashed or 3 bananas)
    • ½ cup chocolate chips (mounded)
    • ½ cup peanut butter (slightly warmed)
    • Flaked sea salt for sprinkling
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and line a 12 inch by 16 inch sheet pan with cooking spray or butter.
    • In a medium bowl combine flour, cocoa powder and salt; whisk to combine and set aside.
    • Combine chopped chocolate, butter and vanilla in a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water; heat until just melt (you don’t want it hot) and set aside. Do not begin the eggs until the chocolate is almost melted.
    • Add eggs and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat until pale and fluffy on medium-high speed. This is your leavening, so don’t under beat them.
    • Turn off the mixer, removed the bowl and pour the chocolate in all at once; fold in the chocolate with a large spatula. Fold in the bananas.
    • Sift the flour mixture into the bowl and fold into the egg mixture until it is still a little streaky.
    • Add the chocolate chips and fold to incorporate. Spread evenly in the prepared pan with an offset spatula.
    • Drop the peanut butter onto the batter and swirl with a skewer, toothpick, knife or your offset spatula.
    • Bake 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt and allow to cool before removing from the pan.

    Notes

    You can bake these in a metal 9×11 pan but they will take longer to bake.

      I wasn't sure about these brownies since I didn't see reviews from anyone who actually MADE them. But I did - using GF flour and some unsweetened chocolate melted in with the semisweet - and these brownies ROCKED!! The recipe made a big batch and my husband and I were VERY happy about that. We added a little extra peanut butter on top too. We froze about half of them to savor later. Mmmmmm!
      Thanks for the recipe - it's a keeper!

      Hi thanks for sharing this recipe

      I would love to try these brownies but wanted to use Nutella also or instead

      Do you think this would work? And if so, do you have any idea as to how you would incorporate it?

      Thanks

        Hi Paula! Just swirl the nutella on top at the end instead of the peanut butter! It will work perfectly! Happy baking!

      You'll judge me... but I don't like banana bread that much. Or banana flavored anything for that matter. BUT... I love bananas. I have one every single day at work. Unless they are too brown, in which case I don't like them. I know, I'm weird. I hope we can still be friends. However, surround bananas with chocolate and PB... totally legit and I'll eat the whole batch. We should probably test it out though. So make me a batch of these 😉

        Say what now?! Just when you think you know someone...I guess we can still be friends but I'm a little shaken. 😉
        I also feel like I need to force you to try my banana bread. Just to be sure you aren't mistaken. It has a sugar on the outside. Sugar, Chris. Sugar.

      I'm sold on this Lindsey, and I almost always have brown bananas staring me in the face. I have to toss them in the freezer because there are too many to deal with sometimes! These look delicious and I love those pretty peanut butter swirls. 🙂

      Bananas in brownies?? Say what? How have I lived my life without ever making these? Hmmm...I need to get up right now and make a batch. And since bananas are healthy, that means I can eat a whole batch, too, right? 🙂

        I love how you and I are *always* on the same page - there are bananas which makes these brownies totally healthy! There would be no judgement coming from me if you ate the whole batch!

      How many bananas are needed for the Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Brownies? I think they've been missed off the ingredients list.

        September 20, 2015 at 4:34 pm

        Good catch, Anne Marie! I don't know how that happened when I copied it over. You will need 1 1/4 cups mashed bananas, which is 320g or 3 medium bananas. Sorry about that! Happy baking!
