Banana Brownies
These Banana Brownies are a decadent twist on a classic treat, blending rich chocolate with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. In just 48 minutes, you’ll have a batch of fudgy, moist brownies with a hint of fruity depth that’s impossible to resist.
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter (141 g)
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate (113 g) chopped
- ½ cup natural cocoa powder (50 g)
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar (250 g)
- ½ cup mashed banana (123 g) about 1 large banana
- 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (83 g)
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9×9” square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine butter and chopped chocolate and heat in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between, until butter and chocolate are completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
- Add sugar, mashed banana, eggs, vanilla and salt and stir until well combined.
- Stir in flour, mixing until combined. Add chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top if desired, and stir until chips are evenly distributed through the batter.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan and scatter reserved chocolate chips over the top of the brownies.
- Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 30-33 minutes and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist fudgy crumbs (not wet batter).
- Allow to cool completely in pan before slicing and enjoying (they tend to fall apart when still warm!).
