Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large bowl with a fork until you get a completely smooth, lump-free purée.
- 2
Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until a smooth, glossy batter forms. Taste and adjust sweetness with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
- 3
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 4
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. For an extra indulgent finish, drizzle with melted dark chocolate ganache before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
The riper the bananas, the naturally sweeter and fudgier your brownies will be — no added sugar needed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
