Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F).
Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
Add the egg and mix well with the mashed banana.
Stir in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Spread the batter into a greased or parchment‑lined baking pan.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the brownies are still warm, sprinkle chocolate over the top to melt slightly.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
