Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium bananas ripe bananas heavily spotted
  • 1/2 cup melted butter grass-fed preferred
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large room temperature egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sour cream optional

Equipment

  • Square Baking Pan
  • - Mixing bowls
  • - Whisk
  • spoon,
  • - Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they form a smooth mixture with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. If using, fold in the sour cream into the wet ingredients.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges pull away slightly from the pan and the center is set but still has a bit of give.
  9. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares.

Notes

For a richer flavor, let them sit at room temperature for a day or two to develop deeper flavors. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. They freeze well for months — wrap individually and defrost at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave.
