5-Ingredient Vegan Brookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish.

For the Brownie Layer:

In a large bowl, add the mashed bananas and 1/2 cup creamy salted peanut butter and fold together until smooth. Then stir through the 1/3 cup cacao powder. Be patient, as this will take 3-4 minutes until a uniform batter forms. Fold through chocolate chips if using. If desired, you can add 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar to the batter. Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared baking dish.

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

Add the 2 cups sifted almond flour, 1/3 cup creamy salted peanut butter, and 1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil to a bowl. Mix until a uniform, sticky dough forms. Stir through chocolate chips if using. Roll the cookie dough out into balls. Place each cookie dough ball on top of the brownie layer and press down slightly to flatten.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing. For best results, place them in the freezer for an hour to really set and firm up before thawing and enjoying. You can reheat these and pair with ice cream for a delicious sundae.
