Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using, for extra richness.

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for added flavor contrast.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly fudgy. Avoid overbaking for a soft texture.
Step 8
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
Step 9
Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into 9 equal squares.
