Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.25 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the peanut butter, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Banana Peanut Butter Quick Bake as is, or with a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness!
