Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Mash ripe bananas until smooth, then add melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Stir in milk and chocolate chips.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  6. Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the brownie batter. Dot with small pieces of butter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  8. Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
