Double Chocolate Banana Brownie

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas (Large; roughly mashed)
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter (Melted)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (Packed)
• 1 large egg (At room temperature)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (Sift before mixing)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 cup walnuts (Chopped; mix into the batter, reserving some to scatter on top)
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips (Mix into the batter, reserving some to scatter on top)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Roughly mash the ripe bananas. Melt the unsalted butter if it is not already melted.

3. 3

   Following the ingredient order, whisk the wet ingredients together by hand. Do not use an electric beater.

4. 4

   Sift in the all-purpose flour and add the cocoa powder and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spoon or spatula until combined.

5. 5

   Mix in the chopped walnuts and semisweet chocolate chips, reserving some of each for the topping. The finished batter will be very thick.

6. 6

   Transfer the thick mixture to the parchment-lined loaf pan and spread it into the pan.

7. 7

   Scatter the reserved chopped walnuts and chocolate chips over the top.

8. 8

   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for roughly 1 hour 15 minutes, until baked through.

Notes

The source does not specify the loaf-pan size or an exact doneness test. It says to reserve some of the listed walnuts and chocolate chips for topping, but does not state how much; use the total listed amounts according to preference.
