Easy Chocolate Banana Brownie Recipe
What's great about these brownies is they are moist, chocolatey, filled with lots of banana, and not too sweet. We used dark chocolate and a healthy pinch of salt to give them a nice balance and a deeper complexity of flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 ½ cups sliced ripe bananas ~2 large bananas
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F, and grease a 9x9 inch pan with butter.
- Add the dry ingredients, flour, salt, and baking powder to a mixing bowl, and stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Melt the butter (about 30 seconds in the microwave), and let it cool. Add the butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla to a second mixing bowl.
- The easiest way to melt chocolate is to put it in a microwave safe bowl, and heat on high for 20 seconds. Stir and heat for another 10 seconds. Repeat until it is smooth. Add the melted chocolate, and 1 1/2 cups of bananas.
- You can add the dry ingredients all at once. Stir with a fork until just combined. Break up any large chunks of banana.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
Make sure not to overmix the batter so it isn't tough. The bananas need to be ripe enough to mash up nicely.
