Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is fully combined and glossy.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Mash the banana in a small bowl until smooth. Swirl the mashed banana into the brownie batter with a spatula, creating streaks of banana throughout.
Transfer the brownie batter to your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave (about 10-15 seconds) to make it easier to swirl. Drop dollops of peanut butter over the surface of the brownies and use a knife to create swirls for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Enjoy your Baboon Brownies, a perfect blend of rich chocolate, sweet banana, and nutty peanut butter!
