Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, mixing well. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and whisk until smooth.

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

          Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips.

            Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).

                Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Treat yourself to a delicious slice of banana bread brownies, warm or at room temperature. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence!
