For an even richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate. To toast walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Don't overbake the brownies! They should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. For easier cutting, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the semisweet and bittersweet chocolate and stir until smooth and completely melted. Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. (8 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, and mashed banana until well combined (about 1 minute). Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the banana mixture and stir until homogenous (about 1 minute). Gradually add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the toasted walnuts and chocolate chips. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. (40 minutes)
06
StepRemove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares. This allows the fudge to set properly. (120 minutes)
