Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, then mix in the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder, then fold this dry mixture into the banana mixture.
  4. Fold in the milk and chocolate chips until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the surface.
  6. Mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon, sprinkle over the batter, and dot with pieces of butter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
