Peanut Butter-Banana Blammo! Brownies

Recipe View Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and banana pudding mix until well combined. (3 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, beat eggs until light and frothy. Whisk in 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup milk, applesauce, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined and no dry lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture randomly over the brownie batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the top is set and the edges slightly pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For cleaner cuts, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting. (30 minutes)
