Servings 12 or 16 depends on the size
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips divided
- 3/4 cup walnuts roughly chopped & divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything looks nice and even.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar until it comes together. Add the eggs and vanilla, then whisk with a little energy for about a minute.
- Fold in the mashed banana with a spatula, just until it blends in.
- Add the dry ingredients and fold gently until the batter is smooth and combined.
- Mix in half of the chocolate chips and walnuts, keeping the rest for the top.
- Spread the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing it out. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and walnuts over the surface.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
