Notes

For best results, ensure your bananas are fully ripe. You can customize these brownies with chocolate chips, nuts, or a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, microwave for 15–20 seconds or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.
