Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Banana Brownies.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9-inch square glass baking dish to ensure your brownies release effortlessly.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the chocolate chips on low power, taking care to do this in 15-second bursts, stirring after each interval until you achieve a silky smooth texture—this should take about 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 3
Allow the melted chocolate to cool for about 5 minutes, just enough time to gather your other ingredients.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Introduce the melted chocolate, mashed bananas, beaten eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract into the mix.
Step 6
Blend everything together with an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is harmoniously combined.
Step 7
If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chopped pecans for an added crunch.
Step 8
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a perfect brownie base.
Step 9
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top appears dry and the edges begin to gently pull away from the sides.
Step 10
Once baked, allow the brownies to cool for about 25 minutes, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 11
For the frosting, melt butter and cocoa powder together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy—this should take around 3 minutes.
Step 12
Gradually mix in confectioners' sugar and milk, adding more milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a delightful spreading consistency.
Step 13
Once your brownies have cooled, lavishly spread the frosting over the top and cut them into squares.
Step 14
Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness that awaits!.
