banana peanut brownies

My recipe was inspired by this one. I made some changes to my taste and added more salt to help prevent dehydration. In my quest for yummy home made century fuel, I've been experimenting with various recipes the last 2 years. At the 2013 greylock century, they had brownies at the second rest stop.

Ingredients
10 oz dark chocolate
1/2 cup all natural chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
3 large eggs
1/2 cup honey
1 tbsp Vanilla
1.5 cups king arthur all purpose flour
1.5 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Preheat the oven to 350 before you start and line a square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.

In a small sauce pan combine the dark chocolate chips, peanut butter and canola oil. On low heat stir until the mixture is melted and combined. Let it cool for 2 minutes.

In a mixing bowl mash the bananas, gradually mix in the eggs one at a time. Next add the vanilla followed by the chocolate mixture.

In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Give it a quick stir and then pour in the wet mix. Fold until it is combined, but don't over mix.

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20-24min and take it out. Let it cool for 20min - 1 hr. Once it's cool, chill it in the freezer and then cut into squares or bars. Wrap them following the Skratchlabs method here and store in the freezer or frig. If you plan to use them the next day, put them in the frig. They should store in the freezer in a ziplock bag for a couple weeks.

Update
After the brownies were chilled in the freezer, I cut them and wrapped them. Unfortunately they are a bit too gooey and won't survive more than 30min in the back pocket, so I have to go back to the drawing board. They were yummy though
