Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. (See note below for 8 x 8-inch baking pan.)
  2. Place the peeled bananas in a bowl or on a cutting board and mash them with a fork until completely smooth.
  3. Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30-second increments until the butter is completely melted. Once melted, transfer the butter to a large mixing bowl, using a spatula to scrape up every bit of melted butter.
  4. Add brown sugar and white sugar to the warm butter and whisk together until well combined and you have a smooth texture.
  5. Add mashed banana, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
  6. Add cocoa powder and salt and stir until well combined, then add flour and fold gently into the mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter, until it’s well incorporated.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35 minutes, testing for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of the brownies. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are set, and a knife comes out mostly clean but still has a touch of batter on it.
  8. Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the baking pan.
  9. Once cooled, cut the brownies into 16 even slices.
  10. The brownies can be served immediately, stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, in the refrigerator for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

If using an 8 x 8-inch baking pan, you will need to cook the brownies for an additional 5-10 minutes as they will be slightly thicker and deeper and, therefore, need a little more time to cook through.
