METHOD
Preheat oven to 350℉ and layer the bottom of an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper that has an overhang on the sides to help transfer out the brownie once baked.
Combine soy milk and vinegar in a separate bowl or jug and mix together till it forms into soy buttermilk. Set aside.
Dry ingredients - Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder through a fine mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Then mix in sugar, salt and instant coffee.
Wet Ingredients - In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and soy buttermilk.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients till it forms into a thick batter.
Then transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Press it down with a spoon to evenly flatten it out. Press over some chocolate chips on the top. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely for about 20-25 minutes. Then use the parchment paper overhang to lift out the whole brownie and transfer it to a cutting board to let it cool completely.
Slice the whole brownie into 16 bars before serving.
NOTES
Ripe bananas: Use overripe bananas for the optimal sweetness and texture.
Don't overmix: Mix just until combined to avoid tough brownies.
Properly line the pan: Ensure the parchment paper overhangs the pan for easy removal and clean cuts.
Check doneness: You’ll know the brownies are done when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Even slicing: Use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts for neat squares. Wash it with hot water between slices and dry it with a cloth for the best results.
Ingredient temperature: Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing.
