Banana peanut brownie is a decadent, healthier twist on classic brownies. You blend ripe bananas with melted butter and cocoa, fold in baking powder, and top with peanuts for crunch. There’s no flour or refined sugar in this recipe. The natural sweetness from bananas, plus the nutty flavor, makes it perfect for dessert lovers who want indulgence without heaviness.
The brownie combines the deep flavor of cocoa with a velvety texture, and the peanuts add a crunchy contrast. The dessert does not require complicated techniques, is quick to prepare, and can be served immediately after cooling.
