Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
  3. Add granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well with a whisk.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
