Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 ripe banana, mashed
For the Topping:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
1 banana, sliced
Instructions:
Prepare the Brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Mix in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, baking powder, and mashed banana until just blended. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake the Brownies:
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Assemble the Brownies:
Once the brownies are cool, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly. Arrange the banana slices on top of the chocolate layer.
Chill and Serv
