Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Brownies

[skyeautumn]

Really awesome batter first of all!  These turned out beautifully.  While hard to do, I would suggest not eating them until they're fully cooled.  They're tasty right out of the oven, but not chewy like a brownie - more crumbly.  The next morning though, with coffee at breakfast  , they were amazing!

I made one major modification - I didn't have the bar of unsweetened chocolate, so I used 3/4 cup cocoa powder and about 1/4 of pure canola oil.  I also added more peanut butter, cuz I REALLY love peanut butter.

Give 'em a try!

Very good brownies! Not too sweet and even though I am in love with a different chocolate brownie recipe I have to say that I will be making these just as much. They taste just as good in a different way! I love banana and peanut butter. I did make a couple of modifications. I added a teaspoon of vanilla and half a teaspoon of almond extract and just about twice as much chocolate. I also used natural cane turbinado sugar.

I have to say, just so that others won't be worried, when i pulled them out of the oven they smelled a bit bad. I was immediately struck by a bad smell and was worried. BUT....after they cooled they smelled soooooo good and they taste really quite amazing! Yay! And, as others have said, they taste best the day after they are cooked.

Again I give these brownies five YAYS! =-)

I wasn't to sure about these based on the other reviews....Mine turned out pretty good.  My banana was gigantic and super-ripe so they had a very strong banana taste.  I couldn't really taste the PB in the recipe so I made so PB frosting to put on top. 

The brownies were very dense and kind of sunk lot in the middle once cooled. 

Also, if you are like me and don't have solid baking chocolate you can substitute 3 TBS cocoa powder mixed with 1 TBS EB to equal the 1 oz of chocolate called for in this recipe.  However, I would suggest doubling that amount to give it more flavor.

I made theese for my dad for fathers day.  I let em' cool and sent them in a tin.  He was so excited that he called ME on fathers day.  They were so yummy he ate them for breakfast !  Of course he never guessed they were vegan.  I'm sending this receipe to my frens:)

these were very good and well received with everyone. the only modification I made is that I added 2-3 tbsp of cocoa powder as I didnt feel one ounce was enough! and it ended up being a good idea since I still found they werent quite chocolatey enough. otherwise great!
