How to make Banana Peanut Butter Protein Brownies

Tips from the cook

  • Use very ripe bananas and mash them until smooth, as they sweeten and bind the batter.
  • Take them out while the middle is just set, as they firm up while cooling.
  • Cool them fully in the tin before cutting, or they fall apart.
  • No peanut butter? Another nut or seed butter works the same way.
