Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until they are smooth with no large lumps remaining.
- Add Cocoa: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder into the mashed bananas until the mixture is fully combined and resembles thick pudding.
- Pour Batter: Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and slightly springy to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Ensure you do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- You can add a pinch of salt or vanilla extract for enhanced flavor if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Optional toppings like chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips can be mixed in before baking for variation.
