Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sliced bananas for garnishing
Chocolate shavings or drizzle for garnishing
Instructions
Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
Bring on the chocolate goodness: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined; take care not to overmix.
Bake! Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool: Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Whip up the mousse: In another mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Add the bananas: Carefully fold in the mashed bananas into the whipped cream mixture.
Top the brownies: Spread the banana mousse over the cooled brownies, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Chill: Pop the bars in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours to let the mousse set nicely.
Garnish and serve: Top with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
