Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Melt the unsalted butter either in the microwave or on the stovetop, and pour it into the bowl with the bananas. Stir until combined.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them thoroughly into the mixture.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
