How to Make Caribbean Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
  2. Grease an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips over the nuts (optional).
  5. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup unsalted butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. In a separate bowl, measure out 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and set aside.
  7. In a food processor, combine 2 large ripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Process for 2 minutes on high speed.
  8. Add the cooled melted chocolate mixture to the food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
  9. With the food processor running on low speed, gradually add the flour. Do not overmix.
  10. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  11. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top to eliminate air pockets.
  12. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The top should spring back when lightly touched.
  13. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. Once cool, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
