Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and banana pudding mix.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- If using mini chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
Notes
- For a chocolatey twist, add more mini chocolate chips or swirl some melted chocolate into the batter before baking.
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- For a stronger banana flavor, increase the amount of mashed bananas to 3/4 cup or 1 cup.
- To make these brownies gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend and check the pudding mix for gluten.
