Description
Delightful brownies infused with ripe bananas for a decadent and indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in melted butter until combined.
- Blend in brown sugar, followed by the eggs and vanilla. Mix until everything is well-incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined — don’t overmix!
- Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top if you like that extra chocolatey goodness.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle any reserved chocolate chips over the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not gooey batter!).
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or drizzled with caramel sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
