Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until fully melted. Let it cool slightly, then add it to the mashed bananas.
Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition to fully incorporate them into the banana mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir until no dry streaks remain, but avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgy brownies).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your rich and moist Banana Chocolate Chip Brownies!
