- 2 large eggs or flax eggs for a vegan version

For the Mix-Ins

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
Mix in the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with the mashed bananas until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and stir again.
In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and smooth it out.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool before slicing into squares.
For your Banana Bread Brownies, always use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Avoid overmixing once the dry and wet ingredients combine for a tender texture. Check brownies a few minutes before the baking time to prevent overcooking.
