Ingredients

3 ripe bananas the riper, the better
1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened, not Dutch-process

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth, or blend them for a creamier texture.
Add the almond butter and cocoa powder and stir until fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 17–20 minutes, until the top looks just set.
Cool completely in the pan — the brownies will firm up as they chill.

Notes

Storage Tip: These brownies become fudgier overnight. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual pieces for up to 6 months.
