Peanut Butter Banana Brownies
Biting into a thick, dense, moist brownie is mouth watering…and these Peanut Butter Banana Brownies are no different.
I had never been a big chocolate person. I was always into candy and non-chocolatey baked goods. But something about brownies… I get cravings that I just can’t ignore.
If you’ve been able to get through the covid quarantine without all the sugary cravings then I applaud you. But that surely has not been the case for me 😂
Naturally I fell victim to my brownie and peanut butter craving and decided to explore a bit! With a ton of banana’s on the counter and a love for peanut butter, it seemed like a great idea to bring this deadly trio together. Peanut butter, chocolate and banana…you can’t beat it 🤤
I pride myself on being on top of my pantry baking items but even so, when baking, it always seems to be a dramatic event. I usually end up making the discovery half-way through, that I’m missing an ingredient.
Although, when it happened this time around, I didn’t think my hubby would have a problem making an extra stop on the way home knowing brownies were the treat at the end.
Oh, that new motherhood life. Always striving to be one step ahead but rather always feel like you’re 3 steps behind. I’m sure that’s why I felt I need brownies 🤣
During these crazy crazy times we’re living in though, I take every small accomplishment I make as a huge success and win. And these brownies were a win without a doubt!
