Delightfully rich and super chocolatey banana brownies made with mashed bananas, semi-sweet chocolate, and a blend of cocoa and flour for that perfect chewy texture.
1: In a medium bowl, gradually microwave 1 cup of chocolate and 1/2 cup butter in 20 second increments until combined and smooth, then set aside.
2: In a large bowl, mash the bananas well.
3: Add sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and mix well.
4: Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and fold gently until smooth.
5: Add flour and salt, mixing until there are still some flour streaks.
6: Fold in the rest of the chopped chocolate (1/2 cup).
7: Optional: add a bit more chocolate on top before baking.
8: Bake at 325°F for 30-35 minutes in a 9x9 pan.
