Easy Blender Banana Brownies Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Prepare a square baking pan, approximately 20 × 20 cm.
3. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a little extra paper over the edges.
4. Lightly grease the parchment paper with vegetable oil or butter.
5. Set aside while preparing the brownie batter.

Step 2: Prepare the Banana Mixture

1. Peel the two ripe bananas and cut them into smaller pieces.
2. Place the banana pieces into a blender.
3. Add the brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Blend everything for approximately 30–60 seconds.
5. Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.

The bananas should be very ripe, preferably with brown spots on their skins, because they provide natural sweetness and moisture.

Step 3: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour.
2. Sift in the cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
3. Add the baking powder and salt.
4. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly combined.

Sifting the cocoa powder helps create a smoother brownie batter and prevents dry chocolate pockets.

Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Pour the blended banana mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients.
2. Using a spatula or whisk, gently fold everything together.
3. Mix until no large streaks of flour remain.
4. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the brownies less tender.

The batter should be thick, smooth, and rich in chocolate color.

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips

1. Add approximately 75 g of chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
2. Gently fold them into the mixture.
3. Reserve the remaining chocolate chips for the topping.
4. Make sure the chocolate chips are distributed evenly throughout the batter.

You can use dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips depending on your preference.

Step 6: Transfer the Batter to the Pan

1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
2. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners.
3. Smooth the surface gently.
4. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.

For an extra chocolatey finish, you can add a few more chocolate chips before baking.

Step 7: Bake the Banana Brownies

1. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven.
2. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25–35 minutes.
3. Begin checking after 25 minutes.
4. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies.
5. For fudgy brownies, the toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not with liquid batter.
6. Remove the pan from the oven once baked.

Avoid overbaking because the brownies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 8: Cool and Slice

1. Place the baking pan on a cooling rack.
2. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
3. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper.
4. Transfer to a cutting board.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut into equal-sized squares.
6. Wipe the knife between cuts for neat, clean edges.
