Ingredients
Brownies
- 2 eggs
- 2 bananas
- 160 grams (5.6 ounces) butter
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) sugar
- 160 grams (5.6 ounces) flour
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) bitter chocolate
Equipment
- Baking Tin (22*22cm, 8.65*8.65 inches)
Make sure to grease it well with butter or line it with baking paper to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Mixing Bowls
You'll need at least two – one for the wet ingredients and one for the dry. Glass or stainless steel works best for easy cleaning.
- Fork or Potato Masher
Perfect for mashing the bananas into a smooth consistency.
- Whisk or Electric Mixer
Use this to combine your wet ingredients thoroughly. An electric mixer will save you time and energy.
- Sifter
Ensure your brownie mix is free from lumps by sifting your dry ingredients.
- Rubber Spatula

Variations
Gluten-Free Variation 🌾: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum to help the brownies hold together.
Vegan Variation 🌱: Swap the eggs with flax eggs (2 tablespoons flaxseed meal mixed with 5 tablespoons water) and use a vegan butter substitute instead of regular butter. Choose dark chocolate that’s dairy-free to keep it vegan all the way!
These variations ensure everyone can enjoy this scrumptious dessert.
Faq
- What can I use if I don’t have a sifter?
You can use a fine-mesh strainer as an alternative to sift your dry ingredients.
- Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, just make sure they are fully thawed and excess moisture is drained before mashing.
- How do I know when my brownies are done?
Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter), your brownies are ready.
- Can I add other ingredients to the batter?
Absolutely! Try adding nuts, dried fruit or even marshmallows for a fun twist.
- How do I store leftover brownies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- What's the best way to reheat brownies?
Warm them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or cover with foil and heat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10 minutes.
