BEST BANANA BREAD BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS:

cooking spray

1 cup mashed ripe bananas

1/3 cup coconut sugar

1 large egg

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips.

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Coat paper lightly with nonstick spray.
Place mashed bananas in a bowl. Stir in coconut sugar, egg, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate, smaller bowl. Add to the banana mixture and mix until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. Lift out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang; place onto a cutting board. Slice into bars and let cool.

NOTES:

Ensure you have as close to 1 cup of mashed bananas as possible, as too little will make your bars dry.
Substitute white sugar for the coconut sugar if preferred.
