Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually fold into the banana mixture until just combined.
  4. Gently mix in the milk until smooth. If using chocolate chips, fold them in.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the brownie batter. Add small pats of butter on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Choosing overripe bananas is key to achieving optimal sweetness and moisture. Avoid overmixing for fudgier brownies and cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
