Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until they are smooth and free of any large lumps.
Add the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough texture.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra layer of chocolaty goodness.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your homemade gluten-free banana brownies!
