Deliciously moist and fudgy Banana Brownies made with ripe bananas, perfect for using up overripe fruit while indulging your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan, greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Smash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  4. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl until liquid and let it cool slightly.
  5. Mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla into the mashed bananas, whisking until smooth.
  6. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then add to the wet mixture and fold until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

For extra richness, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter. Adjust baking time if you prefer gooier brownies.
