Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with some small lumps remaining.
  3. Mix in the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips if using, ensuring an even distribution without overworking the batter.
  7. For the crumb topping, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly, and sprinkle over the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the brownies in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting out and slicing into squares.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the delightful banana and chocolate flavors.
