These healthy Banana Brownies are rich, fudgy and made with only 7 ingredients. No flour, butter or sugar, and you won't believe how decadent they taste!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 8 x 8 square baking dish with unbleached parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add bananas and mash with a fork. Measure to make sure you have exact 1 1/2 cups. Add egg, peanut butter, cacao powder, vanilla extract and salt. Mix with spatula until smooth. Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and mix a few times to combine.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish, level with spatula and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips. Bake for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, with small pieces of dough attached to it is fine but not with wet batter.
Remove from the oven and let brownies cool for 10 minutes. Holding onto parchment paper flaps, transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing. Cut into 16 squares.
