Banana Bread Brownies
Description
This recipe mixes mashed bananas with melted unsalted butter and coconut sugar (or light brown sugar) as a base for moistness and sweetness. An egg and vanilla extract bind the batter, while all-purpose or gluten-free flour provides structure. Optional dark chocolate chips add bursts of richness throughout. The batter resembles banana bread consistency and is spread into a lined baking pan.
Baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 24 to 27 minutes, the brownies develop a tender texture without becoming dense. The edges may have slight crispness, contrasting with a soft interior. Cooling for about an hour before slicing helps the brownies set and facilitates clean cuts.
These banana bread brownies are suitable for snacks or desserts, offering a hybrid between classic banana bread and chocolatey brownies. They store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days and freeze effectively for longer preservation.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour all purpose or gluten free
- 1 ¼ cup banana mashed
- pinch salt optional, sea salt
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter to the lined baking pan. Dot with extra chocolate chips on top if desired.

Notes
- Dairy-free butter alternatives can be used to make this recipe suitable for those avoiding dairy.
- Coconut sugar is a good substitute for refined sugars, but light brown sugar works well too.
- Both regular all-purpose flour and gluten-free 1:1 flour blends are acceptable for this recipe.
- The batter texture will be similar to that of banana bread.
- To avoid overbaking, check doneness around 24 minutes; a clean toothpick signifies readiness.
- Allow brownies to cool for at least one hour before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days; these brownies freeze well.
