Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Brownies (One Bowl)
Your gooey and chocolatey new best friend.
Craving chocolate and have some extra bananas lying around? I got the perfect solution for you. This is a spin on my usual Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bars that are viral and my most recreated recipe on TikTok. This is a close rival to it, also having gone viral.
These need to come with a disclaimer that they are addictive. No seriously, they will be eaten and finished within hours and you will probably be making them on the regular moving forward. Again, the one caveat is that you have to let them cool down completely and set. Another trick is adding 1/4 cup almond flour to the batter.
Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Brownies (One Bowl)
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup peanut butter all natural, room temp.
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbs cacao powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 F. Line an 8×8 inch brownie pan with parchment paper or spray with coconut oil or grease with butter.
- In a large bowl mash your bananas. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, cacao powder, vanilla, baking soda and salt to the bowl. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Toss some extra chips on the top for aesthetics.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes prior to removal. Place on wire rack for minimum 1 hour or over night in a tupper.
Notes
You can substitute the bananas with 3/4 cup pumpkin puree.
You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or any nut or seed butter.
You can substitute the maple syrup with honey or agave.
These are very GOOEY. Add 1/4 cup almond flour to thicken them up and keep them flourless OR add 1/4 cup regular flour.

I’ve made these twice. So good! I decided to add the 1/4 cup of flour the second time, I used coconut flour. Came out great too. All around great recipe.
HI Danielle, That’s great feedback about the coconut flour – thank you for sharing! And i’m so glad you liked the brownies!
These are absolutely amazing & NO GRAIN 😀
I have a batch in the oven now & I am sharing this recipe with my family.
I did use the almond flour, Next time I will try Coconut flour & see how that works but NO OIL, NO GRAIN, NO DAIRY.
It doesn’t get better than that & these are actual wholesome treats.
I used Raw ho9ney in this as it is the only sweetener I can tolerate but I doubt adding any sweetener will matter as banana & peanut butter together has their own unique sweet factor. Thank You for sharing this recipe with us.
These are Delicious!!! Bake perfectly everytime. Love how easy they are. I add the almond flour for more of a cakey texture. SO good!!
Thanks! Have made a few times now and for me they take way longer than 25 min. Usually around 32 for me. What’s calorie/macro breakdown?
can we have nutritional values please
these are so good, I did add some almond flour.
No wonder these went viral! Delicious! Thank you!
Hi Eleanor, glad you enjoyed them! Thanks!
what are the nutritional facts?
Hi Stella, I made these brownies and they were a big hit with my family. I did have to bake them longer than your stated time. I even reduced the honey to 1/4 cup and they were just as good! Thanks for this amazing recipe! I really love that this recipe doesn’t use any refined sugar. May I request for a cheesecake recipe, preferably without any chocolates, I’m very sensitive to caffeine.
I really like these I add vanilla too
LOVE IT!
Hey! Have you tried adding less peanut butter instead of adding almond flour? Im wondering if the recipe would still work, but they would just be a bit less gooey. And natural peanut butter isnt cheap these days!
Thanks!
Wow – these are surprisingly delicious! I used trader joe’s peanut butter, which is a little runnier than most, and it still worked out just fine. I didn’t need to add any almond flour…just baked for a little while longer than the 25mins. It turned out far better than I was expecting!! Delicious flavor (not too bannana-y or peanut buttery) and great texture (moist and chewy, a little crisp on the edges). Adding the chocolate chips is a must in my opinion!
Hi! I just tried one and they are delish! But how long can they stay in the fridge, and could i freeze these and if so how do I reheat them thanks!
Hi Cierra, They will last on your counter for 3-4 days and in your fridge for 5-6 days. They’ve never lasted longer than 3 days in my house though. I havent frozen them myself but it should work. And then heat in a toaster oven …
Loves these, they’re absolutely delicious!! I don’t know what’s wrong with my family/sugar addicts, they don’t care for them and I’m totally good with that.. more for me! I’ve made them 3 times already! Totally satisfies my sweet tooth without the guilt! Thank you for the recipe! 😋😋
Hi Roslynn, Cant make everyone happy lol but you can make yourself happy!!! Thanks for trying the brownies and I happen to love these ridiculous bars too!
How many calories are these per slice or per batch
These were delicious. I made them really quick this morning since I had all the ingredients on hand. I don’t like super gooey so I appreciated that foresight and added the 1/4 almond flour. I also added 1/2 tsp baking powder. Amazing. Mines only needed 20min cooling in the pan and were ready to serve and eat. Chefs kiss
Hello Nya! Yes, I’m a fan of adding in the almond flour too! Glad you loved them!
Can we replace the eggs with applesauce like your vegan brownies? Thanks!
It should work, i’ve had many comments on Tiktok that its worked for them. I personally haven’t tried it but with my experience with this recipe, it should work overall.
