How to Make Banana Cream Brownie Squares

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 2 ripe mashed bananas.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
9. Meanwhile, prepare the banana cream filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 ripe mashed banana until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the brownies have cooled, spread the banana cream filling evenly over the top.
11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
