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