Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch metal baking pan. Line with parchment paper and lightly butter the surfaces.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semisweet chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  3. After cooling slightly, whisk in 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of light brown sugar until fully blended.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the mashed bananas until smooth.
  5. Sift together 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently.
  6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 32-36 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly.
  7. Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, lift out using parchment paper, slice into squares, and enjoy.
