Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces well-ripe bananas Using ripe bananas is crucial as they provide necessary sweetness and moisture.
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pinch salt Salt balances the sweetness of the bananas.
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup raspberries Feel free to substitute them with any berry or omit them altogether.
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips For added chocolaty goodness, can be omitted if desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
- Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk together until fully combined.
- Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt until the mixture is uniform and well-blended.
- If using, gently fold in the raspberries and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. The edges should look set, while the center will be soft and fudgy.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For extra richness, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Let the brownies cool completely for a denser texture if time allows. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
