Ingredients
Banana Bread Layer
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas)
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup melted butter or oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Brownie Layer
½ cup melted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
Optional Add-Ins
Chopped nuts
Chocolate chips
Caramel drizzle
Instructions
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
Make the Banana Bread Batter
In a bowl, mix mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir just until combined.
Make the Brownie Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Add cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix until smooth and glossy.
Layer & Bake
Pour banana bread batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Gently spread the brownie batter over the banana layer.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Cool & Slice
Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing.
Add optional toppings if desired before serving.
Notes
For a swirl effect, gently marble the two batters with a knife before baking.
These brownies taste even better the next day once fully set.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
