Peanut Butter Brownie Banana Bread

SnacksHaley HansenComment

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • bananas (obviously) - major source of potassium and slow-digesting carbohydrates. also kind of the backbone of a good banana bread.

  • peanut butter - rich, creamy, peanutty flavor. always buy the unsweetened version with only peanuts and salt on the ingredients list!

  • Simple Mill Brownie Mix - the BEST healthier brownie mix on the market. made with 7 simple (no pun intended) ingredients, including almond flour, coconut sugar, and flaxseeds for a minimally processed, nutrient-dense sweet treat.

RECIPE

2 small extra ripe bananas
2 eggs 
½ cup natural creamy peanut butter 
1 box Simple Mills Brownie Mix 
dark chocolate chips, optional (but highly recommended

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper. 

  2. In a large bowl, mash the banana with the egg and peanut butter. Once smooth, add the brownie mix and stir until well combined and no lumps remain. 

  3. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and top with additional dark chocolate chips, if desired. 

  4. Bake at 350F for about 45-48 minutes, or until a toothpick poked through the center comes out clean. 

  5. COOL COMPLETELY before slicing. I let mine cool overnight (I know, I know) before slicing and it was perfect. Worth the wait!

  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

There are no rules against turning a protein bar into a dessert, right? These Triple Chocolate + Peanut Butter Bites will shock everyone - they’re so delicious and indulgent, AND packed with protein, free of refined sugars and additives, and filled with wholesome, nourishing ingredients!

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • GoMacro Bars - read all about why I love these here! Make sure to use the code “HALEYHANSENFITNESS” at checkout for 25% off your oder!

  • dark chocolate - just to make these feel a bit extra and indulgent :) go for a high-quality dark chocolate here, like these Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Gems!

RECIPE

4-5 GoMacro Smooth Sanctuary bars (of your favorite flavor)
¼ cup dark chocolate chunks (Hu Kitchen is my fav)
½ teaspoon unrefined coconut oil
Sea salt, for garnish

  1. Cut the GoMacro bars in thirds and refrigerate on a plate lined with parchment paper. This will help the chocolate to set faster!

  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second increments until smooth.

  3. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars (in any pattern you like) and then refrigerate for 8-10 minutes, or until the chocolate is almost set.

  4. Garnish with a tiny sprinkle of salt, and enjoy!
