Fudgy Chocolate Banana Brownies

Heather Wolf
Flavor-packed and fudgy, these Chocolate Banana Brownies studded with big fat chocolate chips are absolutely fantastic. Scratch-made with mashed bananas and cocoa powder these ooey gooey brownies are great with a cold glass of milk.

Equipment

  • 8 x 8 metal pan

Ingredients
  

Banana Brownies

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2/3 cup mashed bananas overripe
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt fine
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour unbleached
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips divided

Instructions
 

Banana Brownies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 x 8 metal baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cooled melted butter, both sugars and vanilla until combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition until well incorporated.
  • Next, whisk in mashed bananas then set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, salt, flour and baking powder.
  • Using a spoon, stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until *just* combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour batter into baking pan then top with remaining chocolate chips.
  • Bake brownies for 30 to 35 minutes or until the edges are crisp and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Avoid overbaking or brownies will be dry.
  • Remove pan from oven and place on a baking rack to cool completely before slicing. (If you're a stickler for clean slices, place brownies in the freezer for 20 minutes before cutting.)
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
