Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  1. Grab 3 ripe bananas and thoroughly mash them in a large mixing bowl until absolutely smooth with zero lumps remaining.
  2. Pour ¼ cup honey and ½ cup cocoa powder into the banana mixture, stirring until the batter becomes uniform and glossy.
  3. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, carefully pressing it into all corners and sides.
  4. Transfer the entire brownie batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
  5. Set your oven to 350°F and position a rack in the center position.
  6. Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for edges that slightly pull away from pan sides.
  7. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and let brownies rest inside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  9. Use parchment paper edges to lift brownies from pan and transfer onto a wire cooling rack.
  10. Allow brownies to cool completely for another 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  11. Cut into 9 identical square pieces and serve at room temperature for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, soft bananas for the sweetest, most intense flavor and smooth texture in your brownies.
  • Gently press cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve to prevent lumps and ensure a silky, even batter.
  • Check brownies at 25 minutes since natural sugar content varies with banana ripeness and can affect baking time.
  • For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of chocolate protein powder or chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
