Ingredients:
- For the Brownies Cake:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- For the Topping (Optional):
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, mixing well until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips if using, and mix until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar if desired, cut into squares, and serve.
- Enjoy: Serve your Banana Brownies Cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat!
