"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients
Dry
½ cup all purpose flour (or oat flour or white whole wheat flour)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (30g)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Wet
1 cup mashed banana (240g)
½ cup peanut butter (125g)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8 inch square pan and then line with a piece of parchment paper with some overhang on the sides.
Mash bananas in a large bowl using the back of a fork or a potato masher. Measure out 1 cup. Combine with the rest of the wet ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.
Stir the wet ingredients into the cocoa mixture. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove the brownies from the oven. Allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack before slicing with a knife. It will allow for a cleaner cut.
Notes
For softer, fudgy brownies, bake for 18-20 minutes. For firmer brownies bake for 25 minutes.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. They taste great cold! The brownies will get even fudgier.

Personal Notes:
I made this for our September, 2023 beach trip. They were pretty good, but would have been better if I had used bananas that were a little more ripe. Of course, I used dark chocolate chips and not the semi-sweet the recipe calls for. Dark chocolate is always better (and good for you too).
