Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t need a long list of ingredients for these brownies. Here’s what you will need:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 50g (1/4 cup) sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 30g (2 tbsp) unsalted butter (or neutral oil)
  • 50g (1/3 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 10g (1 tbsp) cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Optional: chocolate chips or nuts for topping

How to Prepare Them

  1. Prepare the Banana Mixture:
    • Peel the banana and mash it in a microwave-safe mixing bowl until smooth.
    • Add sugar and mix well.
  2. Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
    • Crack in the egg and whisk until fully combined.
    • Add melted butter or oil and mix until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients:
    • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gently fold until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

    • Pour the batter into a microwave-safe square or rectangular dish lined with parchment paper.
    • Sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts on top if desired.
    • Microwave at 600W for 4–5 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

    • Slice into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
