Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

For the Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the walnuts (if using) and chocolate chips.

  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • Finish & Serve: Let the brownies cool slightly before drizzling them with the glaze. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Optional mix-ins: pecans, almonds, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or peanut butter.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
  • For a vegan version, swap the egg with a flax egg and use non-dairy butter and milk.
