👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat to 180 °C (350 °F) and prepare your baking dish.
💡 Tip: Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal.

Step 2: Mash Bananas
Mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
💡 Tip: Overripe bananas give extra sweetness and moisture.

Step 3: Add Cocoa
Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
💡 Tip: Sift cocoa to avoid lumps.

Step 4: Add Peanut Butter
Mix in ½ cup of peanut butter until fully combined.
💡 Tip: Warm peanut butter slightly if it’s stiff.

Step 5: Blend Batter
Ensure batter is smooth and even.
💡 Tip: A whisk or spatula works well here — no mixer required.

Step 6: Prepare Dish
Grease or line your baking tin with parchment.
💡 Tip: Use a square 20 cm tin for even thickness.

Step 7: Pour Batter
Pour batter into the dish, spreading evenly.
💡 Tip: Tap gently to remove air bubbles.

Step 8: Bake the Brownies
Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are set.
💡 Tip: Underbake slightly for a fudgier centre.

Step 9: Test Doneness
Insert a skewer — it should come out with moist crumbs.

Step 10: Cool and Slice
Allow to cool before slicing for clean edges.
💡 Tip: Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
