• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just melted and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir the mixture until well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a fudgy brownie texture.

Step 7

Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add them to the batter, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 8

If using, fold in the chocolate chips gently into the brownie batter.

Step 9

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy your nut-free banana brownies!
