Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
•
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 pinch salt
•
6 tablespoons salted butter
•
5 ounces semisweet chocolate
•
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
•
1 cup packed light brown sugar
•
2 eggs, lightly beaten
•
1/2 large banana, mashed
•
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray the bottom of an 8x8-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray.
2
Mix flour, cocoa, and 1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt together in a bowl and set aside.
3
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add semisweet and bittersweet chocolate to melted butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat; set aside for 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, eggs, and banana by hand until combined, about 1 minute. Add melted chocolate mixture to banana mixture and stir well, about 1 minute more. Mix flour mixture slowly into chocolate, stirring just enough to combine. Fold in walnuts and chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting.
