Dense, chocolatey brownies made with overripe bananas, perfect for a rich dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups very ripe mashed banana (about 2–3 medium bananas)
- 4 ounces dark chocolate
- 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 2–3 tablespoons chopped chocolate or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Melt dark chocolate with butter or coconut oil and whisk with eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla.
- Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Gently stir in chopped chocolate or walnuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 22–26 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.

Notes
For a fudgier texture, remove from the oven at the moist-crumb stage. Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
