How to make Banana and Peanut Butter Squares
Peel the bananas and mash them well with a fork until you get a smooth puree.
Add the yogurt and peanut butter, stirring well to combine the ingredients.
Incorporate the flour and baking powder, mixing until you get a homogeneous dough.
Chop the dark chocolate into coarse pieces and add it to the mixture, stirring gently.
Preheat the oven to 356°F (static).
Pour the mixture into a mold lined with parchment paper and level the surface.
Bake for 15 minutes: the dessert should be slightly soft inside. If you prefer a firmer texture, let them bake for another 5-10 minutes.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
Enjoy them warm for a melting texture, or cold for a firmer effect.
