🛒 Ingredients

30 servings

30
  • 3 very ripe bananas (brown-speckled)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (or 1 cup sweetened chocolate powder)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of fine salt
  • Optional: dark chocolate ganache for topping

Directions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.
