Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base
  • 3 medium Ripe Bananas Use super ripe bananas with speckles for enhanced flavor and moisture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Provides sweetness; replace with coconut sugar for a unique touch.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Adds depth; use less for a less sweet flavor profile.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Gives richness; swap for melted coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder; flax eggs can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; vanilla bean paste offers a more intense aroma.
For the Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Creates structure; substitute with a gluten-free blend as needed.
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Infuses chocolate flavor; Dutch-processed cocoa intensifies this.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Helps the brownies rise; ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; adjust if using less sugar.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Adds extra richness; dark chocolate chunks or omitting can lower calories.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted unsalted butter to the mashed bananas, mixing until cohesive. Then, crack in the eggs and add vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until you see no streaks of flour.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and bake for approximately 25 minutes.
  7. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
