Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Mash the bananas in a separate bowl until smooth.
Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
Stir the mashed bananas into the butter mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares and serving.
