  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by greasing with butter or lining with parchment paper.

  3. In the same bowl as the bananas, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until no streaks of flour remain.
