Chunky Monkey Brownies image

This is a basic recipe for delectable chocolate brownies with a delicious swirl of mashed banana in the batter.

Categories     Cookies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup mashed banana (about one medium-large banana)
1 (12-oz) bag(s) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for the top)
nonstick cooking spray (for baking dish)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9×13" glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2. With electric mixer, beat together the butter, eggs, both sugars (brown and white), salt and vanilla for one minute (to add plenty of air to the batter). Add flour and mashed banana, and beat until combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • 3. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Smooth the surface with a knife or spatula. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top.
  • 4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or just until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas will give your brownies a more intense banana flavor.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough and dense.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Chunky Monkey Banana Brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and sweet banana chunks, these brownies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Chunky Monkey Banana Brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
