INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Chocolate

    • 🍫 2 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
    • 🍫 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • Sweeteners

    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional Toppings

    • 🍌 12 slices banana (optional)
    • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a 9x9-inch square pan. Optionally, line the pan with parchment paper.

2

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

3

Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

4

Use an electric mixer to beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and mashed banana, beating until combined. Then, mix in melted chocolate until smooth.

5

Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips with a spatula. Finally, gently mix in the flour mixture until just combined.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Optionally, arrange banana slices in a grid pattern on top.

7

Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the brownies comes out with some batter clinging to the tip (for a fudgier consistency).

8

Let cool in the pan, then refrigerate covered for approximately 1 hour until firm. Serve chilled.

9

For optional banana brûlée: Sprinkle bananas with 1/2 teaspoon sugar each and caramelize using a torch. This can also be done before baking.
