For me, a recipe needs to be simple and cost-effective. I also have zero desire to go grocery shopping or on a search for the ingredients that I need for a recipe. If you were to google vegan brownies, much like other vegan baked goods, you’ll find that you need some rather strange ingredients.

After multiple failed attempts, I have finally succeeded in making the perfect fudgy brownies with no eggs, no butter, no milk, and no chocolate chips (of the dairy or non-dairy variety).

Ingredients:

3 frozen bananas
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
6 Oreo cookies
1 tbsp vegan butter

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease your baking pan (set aside).
2. Pull bananas to thaw.
3. Use your food processor to make your brownie bottom. Add Oreos to a food processor and pulse until crumbs are even, add vegan butter and then press crust into the bottom of 9″x9″ pan.
4. Blend together peanut butter, brown sugar, and cocoa powder.
5. Add thawed bananas and mix until combined.
6. Add flour.

Bake brownies for 25 – 30 minutes or until center of brownies can pass a fork test.
