2 ripe bananas bananas Overripe bananas enhance the natural sweetness and moisture.
½ cup butter Use unsalted butter for rich flavor; coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.
1 cup brown sugar The molasses in brown sugar adds depth and chewy texture.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract This adds a hint of warmth and rounds out the flavors.
1 cup all-purpose flour A classic choice that helps create the perfect fudgy texture.
⅓ cup cocoa powder Choose high-quality cocoa for a rich, chocolatey experience.
½ teaspoon baking soda This helps the brownies rise and creates a lovely lift.
¼ teaspoon salt A pinch of salt balances the sweetness beautifully.
2 eggs eggs They provide structure and moisture to your fudgy brownies.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl until liquefied, then cool slightly.
Mix in the brown sugar and vanilla extract with the melted butter until smooth.
Add the mashed bananas and eggs to the mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet batter until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for a week.
