Instructions
- Step 1: Prep and Organise – Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- Step 3: Mash Bananas – In a separate bowl, mash the overripe bananas thoroughly until no large lumps remain.
- Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients – Whisk melted coconut oil or butter substitute, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener into the mashed bananas.
- Step 5: Form the Batter – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until combined.
- Step 6: Layer First Half – Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Step 7: Add Fudgy Core – Spoon the brownie filling down the center in a line to create the stuffed core.
- Step 8: Cover the Filling – Cover the filling completely with the remaining banana batter.
- Step 9: Bake the Loaf – Place the pan on the middle oven rack and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes.
- Step 10: Test and Cool – Insert a toothpick into the banana portion to test for doneness, then let the loaf cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
Bring your eggs and dairy substitutes to room temperature before mixing to help the batter emulsify correctly.
