Move over boxed brownies! Fudgy brownies with a shiny, crackly crust and surprise ingredient—mashed banana—which adds just a hint of delicious flavor. These brownies won third place at the Minnesota 2009 state fair and they are easy to make!
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ¾ cup sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ large banana, mashed
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray the bottom of an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix flour, cocoa, and 1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt together in a bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add semisweet and bittersweet chocolate to melted butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat; set aside for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, eggs, and banana by hand until combined, about 1 minute. Add melted chocolate mixture to banana mixture and stir well, about 1 minute more. Mix flour mixture slowly into chocolate, stirring just enough to combine. Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting.
Cook’s Notes:
You can substitute 3/4 cup semisweet chips and 1/4 cup bittersweet chips for the chocolate, if desired.
