Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (250g) medium bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup (113g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (6oz) chocolate chips any kind works, I like dark
  • 1 1/4 cup (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (26g) Dutch-process cocoa powder spooned and leveled
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips any kind works, I like dark
  • whipped cream
  • 1 banana slices for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325F/163C convection (325F/163C conventional) and grease and line an 8x8” pan with baking spray and parchment paper (leaving an overhang to easily remove them). 
  • Weigh the bananas after peeling them and then mash them until they look like banana puree.
    2 (250g) medium bananas
  • Place the butter and chocolate in a medium, heat proof bowl and microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir until the chocolate and butter is melted and combined. 
    1/2 cup (113g) salted butter, 1 cup (6oz) chocolate chips
  • In a large bowl, place the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and eggs. Whisk them together aggressively for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth. 
    1 1/4 cup (250g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/3 cup (26g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • Add in the melted chocolate and butter and whisk until the mixture is fully combined.
  • Add in the mashed bananas and whisk together until they're completely combined.
  • Add in the flour and salt and whisk just until there’s only a few streaks of flour left. 
    1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • Fold in the rest of the chocolate chips and spread into the prepared pan.
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes. The top should be thin and crackly and puffed in the enter.
  • Tap it against the counter a couple of times, it should deflate a little but not be jiggly at all. When you press on it, it should feel soft underneath but not liquid-y.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 30-60 minutes. Refrigerate for a little if you want clean slices. Top with a pinch of sea salt flakes or top with whipped cream and banana slices.
