Peanut Butter Banana Brownies Vegan

This recipe is similar to my vegan brownies but with a moister, softer texture, and a mild banana taste. It’s a slightly thicker version of my Healthy Banana Brownies. I love making them when I want clean, healthy brownies that are still rich and loaded with protein and fiber.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You need the wet ingredients below:

Ripe Bananas – I recommend weighing the peeled banana in grams/oz or cups. Peel your bananas, mash them with a fork and place the mashed bananas into a measuring cup or bowl to weigh. This ensures the best brownie texture, so be precise. In fact, this recipe is egg-free, and bananas act as an egg replacer – you won’t need flax eggs! If you skip the bananas, the brownie batter can be runny and the brownies fragile. Natural Peanut Butter – it means peanut butter with no additives: no added oil, no added sugar. This is the best option for making healthy vegan peanut butter brownies. Another option is to use almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have a nut allergy. Coconut Oil – you can use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor in your brownie. Light olive oil can be used to decrease saturated fat. Vanilla Extract – for flavors. Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats or all-purpose flour – both options work with the same quantity but be careful not to blend all-purpose flour. If you do, the brownie will be extremely dense and gummy. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Coconut Sugar or any granulated sweetener you love. You can also play with the quantity, adding an extra 1/4 cup for a sweeter brownie. Baking Powder for a small rise.

Serving Ideas

You can serve these healthy vegan brownies plain or topped with some of the followings dairy-free toppings:

Whipped coconut cream – or Vegan Whipped Cream. Melted chocolate Raspberries or strawberries.

Storage Instructions

Even if this is an egg-free and dairy-free brownie recipe, it’s better to store your banana brownies in the fridge. It stores for up to 5 days in a sealed container or freezes really well. Frozen brownies can be thawed at room temperature the day before on a plate placed on your kitchen countertop. Also, brownies get fudgier in the fridge, so I highly recommend this option for an extra fudgy texture.
