-
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp salt

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract and the mashed bananas.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix.

Fold in the walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
-
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
