Equipment

  • 1 8x8 Square Baking Pan
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Mashed Overripe Banana this is about 2 medium bananas
  • ¼ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, melted see note
  • 2 tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ¾ Cup Natural Cocoa Powder see note
  • 1 ¼ Cups Flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt half this amount if using table salt
  • ½ Cup Chocolate Chips plus more for the top
  • ½ medium Banana, sliced into ⅛" slices optional- just for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350* F. Prepare an 8x8 pan by greasing with coconut oil or pan spray and inserting a parchment paper sling for easy removal.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, mashed banana, melted coconut oil, canola oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla. Whisk well for about 1 minute.
    1 Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Cup Mashed Overripe Banana, ¼ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, melted, 2 tablespoon Canola Oil, 2 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • Add cocoa powder and whisk well once more.
    ¾ Cup Natural Cocoa Powder
  • Switch to a spatula for stirring, and add flour, salt and baking powder. Fold together until just combined.
    1 ¼ Cups Flour, 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Add chocolate chips and fold to distribute.
    ½ Cup Chocolate Chips
  • Scrape the batter into a prepared 8x8 pan and spread the batter out evenly. Top with banana slices if desired and a handful of chocolate chips.
    ½ medium Banana, sliced into ⅛" slices
  • Bake in a 350* oven for 29-31 minutes. The center of the brownie should feel set, but still soft to the touch.
  • Allow to cool completely before using the parchment sling to remove the brownies from the pan and cutting into 16 squares.

Notes

You can substitute unrefined coconut oil if desired, but the brownies will have a slight coconut flavor.
Be sure to use natural cocoa powder, not Dutch processed.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
