Description
Two favorite treats meet in these Banana Bread Brownies: the soft, sweet crumb of banana bread and the fudgy, chocolatey bite of a brownie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Use an 8×8-inch pan for thick squares or a 9×9-inch pan for slightly thinner pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas and mix in the melted butter. Stir in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture, then mix them in. Add the flour and stir until just combined. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the banana bread brownies to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool more. Once cooled slightly, cut into squares.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness.
