Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Ripe banana
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Mash the ripe banana in a separate small bowl until smooth, then mix it into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Slice the fresh strawberries into small pieces, reserving a few slices for decoration. Gently fold the strawberry pieces into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Arrange the reserved strawberry slices on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares.
If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
