Peanut Butter Banana Brownies are straight up doctored-box-mix comfort food, coming out more like a chocolate banana bread than a gooey brownie. The peanut butter and banana add a little something to the basic box mix, though, and these taste at least slightly closer to homemade than the original box recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 2 overripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts optional
- 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Mix brownie mix, eggs, and water in large bowl.
- Slice bananas into coins, add to bowl, and whisk in until fairly smooth.
- Stir in walnuts.
- Grease an 11×7 glass pan and pour in batter.
- Drizzle on peanut butter, then swirl with a butter knife.
- (Note: If you aren’t using the goopier natural peanut butter you’ll need to warm it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to liquify a bit before pouring on brownies.)
- Scatter chocolate chips on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center pulls out clean.
