Chocolate Covered Banana Brownies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Sliced banana pieces for topping

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.

In a bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla; stir until smooth.

Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder; fold gently until just combined.

Mix in the mashed banana until evenly distributed in the batter.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Once cooled, pour melted chocolate over the brownies and add banana slices on top. Chill for 10-15 mins to set the chocolate.

Notes:

For extra richness, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
