Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Stir in granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time and then add vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Fold dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined.
  7. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  9. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
