We took two classic desserts—banana bread and brownies—and combined them into one sweet treat. Be sure to use very ripe bananas, which will be easier to mash and also add natural sweetness.

Ingredients

¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup canola oil
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup white whole-wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 large very ripe bananas
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray.
Whisk granulated sugar, oil, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla together in a large bowl. Stir in flour and salt.
Mash bananas in a medium bowl. Stir in baking powder. Add the bananas to the batter in the large bowl and stir until just combined. Pour half the batter back into the medium bowl. Add cocoa and chocolate chips to the remaining batter in the large bowl. Stir until just combined.
Add about half of the brownie batter to the prepared baking dish by the spoonful. Pour the banana bread batter on top, then dollop the remaining brownie batter on top. Draw a knife through the batters to create a swirl design.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
