Step 1

All ingredients should be at about the same temperature. Take eggs out of the fridge 30-40 minutes in advance. Choose ripe bananas (yellow peel, no black spots). Use large eggs. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C).

Step 2

Peel bananas and break into small pieces.

Step 3

In a blender bowl, combine banana, eggs, cocoa, and baking powder. Do not substitute with baking soda (no acid in this recipe). Bananas provide enough sweetness, but you may add a heat-stable sweetener if desired.

Step 4

Blend until completely smooth. Batter should be pourable, not too runny. If too thin, add more cocoa; if too thick, add 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) of water or milk, little by little.

Step 5

Pour batter into a parchment-lined baking pan (Ø 5.5-6.3 in / 14-16 cm). Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 40-45 minutes. Do not open oven for the first 20 minutes. Test with a wooden skewer - it should come out slightly moist but clean. Adjust time to your oven.

Step 6

While hot, top with broken pieces of dark or bitter chocolate. Let sit 2-3 minutes to soften, then spread with a spatula. Alternatively, melt chocolate separately and drizzle over.

Step 7

Let brownie cool completely before removing from pan. Transfer to a plate and serve. Texture may vary (fine or large pores) depending on oven and egg blending. Enjoy!
