How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Brownies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl and let cool slightly.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well with a wire whisk after each addition.
- Mash 1 ripe medium banana (about ½ cup mashed) and stir it into the batter.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
