Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Optional: chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then stir in the mashed bananas.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  4. If using mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them in now.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Allow to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before slicing into squares.
