Description
Deliciously moist and fudgy brownies infused with the comforting flavors of banana bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas (the spottier, the better)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven and prep the pan. Set your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mash the bananas. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients. Stir in the melted butter and brown sugar. Then mix in the egg and vanilla until it looks glossy and combined.
- Sprinkle in the dry ingredients. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir just until you do not see dry streaks.
- Fold in chocolate. If using, fold in chocolate chips or chunks, reserving some for the top.
- Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 22 to 28 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor. Do not overbake to ensure moist brownies.
