Banana Brownies
Banana brownies are a great way to use up leftover bananas (especially when you're sick of banana bread!). My recipe uses just one bowl and takes only 15 minutes to prep.

Ingredients
- 10 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- ½ ½ cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 ¼ 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ½ ½ cup mashed banana about 1 large banana
- 2 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
- 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ ½ teaspoon table salt
- ⅔ ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9x9” square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine butter and chopped chocolate and heat in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between, until butter and chocolate are completely melted and mixture is smooth.
- Add cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
- Add sugar, mashed banana, eggs, vanilla and salt and stir until well combined.
- Stir in flour, mixing until combined. Add chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top if desired, and stir until chips are evenly distributed through the batter.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan and scatter reserved chocolate chips over the top of the brownies.
- Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 30-33 minutes and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist fudgy crumbs (not wet batter)..
- Allow to cool completely in pan before slicing and enjoying (they tend to fall apart when still warm!).
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I like to use a semisweet chocolate bar, but if you prefer to use chocolate chips you will need ⅔ cup of chocolate chips.
- If using a glass baking dish note the brownies will take longer than indicated to bake completely.
- Store covered or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
