Description

Delightful Banana Bread Brownies that combine the moist essence of banana bread with fudgy brownie goodness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until smooth.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the baking soda, salt, flour, and cocoa powder until well blended. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Fold in chocolate chips if you’d like an extra indulgent touch.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the brownies in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter to keep the brownies moist and fluffy. You can add nuts or a swirl of peanut butter on top for a nutty twist.
