Description
A delightful fusion of brownies and banana bread, these moist and rich brownies elevate any gathering with their unique flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine the mashed bananas, sugar, and melted butter, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, stirring just until no dry flour remains.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure even distribution without overmixing the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Refrigerate for longer shelf life.
