Chocolate Banana Brownies

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 8” x 8” square pan with parchment paper.

2. Combine 1 cup chocolate chips with the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn. Let cool slightly.

3. Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and cocoa powder, then add the melted chocolate and mix to combine.

4. Stir in the vanilla and eggs.

5. Add the flour and salt and mix just until no streaks remain, then fold in the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, until the edges are set and a bit of batter sticks to a toothpick when inserted in the center. Let cool, then slice.
