Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. Mash 3 to 4 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl, then mix in melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in milk and chocolate chips, ensuring the batter is silky and thick, making sure not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  6. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, sprinkle over the batter, and dot with small pieces of butter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
