Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • butter knife

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup bittersweet chocolate finely chopped
  • 2 large very ripe bananas mashed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and butter and line with parchment an 8x8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients and then divide the batter evenly into 2 separate bowls.
  • In one bowl, sift in the cocoa powder and stir in the chopped chocolate.
  • In the other bowl, stir in the mashed banana.
  • Dollop the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then pour over the banana batter.
  • Take a butter knife and swirl the chocolate batter through the banana batter without mixing it completely, to create a marbled look.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature or in the microwave for a minute.

Notes

For best results, use very ripe bananas for optimal flavor and moisture.
