Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Banana Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 6-inch brownie pan with parchment paper.
Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, aiming for about 1 cup of mashed bananas.
Add 1/4 cup peanut butter and 1/3 cup cocoa powder to the mashed bananas, stirring until smooth.
Check the batter consistency; add an extra tablespoon of mashed banana or almond milk if too dry.
Fold in 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
