Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 3 pieces ripe bananas (About 1 ½ cups mashed)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (Melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (Optional)

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mash Bananas and Add Butter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter thoroughly until well combined, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Mix thoroughly until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain brownie tenderness. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them in now.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the brownies are done.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the brownies bake, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Cool Brownies: Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature for glazing.
  8. Glaze and Serve: When cooled, drizzle or spread the glaze evenly over the brownies. Cut into squares and serve for a delightful dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe to enhance sweetness and moisture in the brownies.
  • For a dairy-free glaze, substitute milk with almond milk or any plant-based milk.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as it can make the brownies tough instead of fudgy.
  • Chocolate chips are optional but add extra richness and texture.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
