Fudgy Banana Brownies

If you are a big fan of bananas (me, me!), then today’s recipe is just for you.

I have taken my favourite brownie recipe and stuffed them full of bananas, which makes for a SUPER fudgy and moist brownie.

You’re seriously gonna love them!

These Fudgy Banana Brownies are loaded with 4 large bananas. Two mashed bananas go into the batter, and two whole bananas, cut in half, are placed on top of the batter.

Mmmm.

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these brownies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

Unsalted butter
Granulated sugar
Cocoa powder
Salt

Plain/all-purpose flour
Chocolate chips

How to make Fudgy Banana Brownies

To make these brownies, add the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until the butter is melted and the mixture feels very warm to the touch.

Add the eggs, vanilla, and TWO mashed bananas, and mix until combined. Fold in the flour, then the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with parchment or foil, and spread out evenly.

Slice the remaining bananas in half lengthwise, and place on top of the batter.

Bake for 45 – 50 minutes, or until the centre is no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean with a few moist crumbs.

Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Because these brownies are incredibly moist and fudgy, I like to keep mine refrigerated and serve them chilled.

The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
