Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all‑purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a 9″ square baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in mashed bananas until incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until almost combined. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set but center still gives a few moist crumbs when tested with a toothpick.
  8. Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
  • Swirl in dollops of peanut butter before baking.
  • Use part whole wheat or oat flour and reduce sugar for a healthier version.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to deepen flavors.
  • Double up the chocolate with extra chunks for ultra richness.
