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.
