Easy Banana Bread Brownies

These Banana Bread Brownies are incredibly delicious, and packed with rich banana flavor. Topped with a simple chocolate glaze, they’re perfect for dessert,easy to make,sharing with neighbors, or even as a sweet breakfast treat!

The month, I realized it’s been far too long since I shared a Brownies or Banana recipe with you.With fall just around the corner, I knew it was the perfect time to whip up something special so I got to work creating the ultimate Banana Bread Brownies recipe.

To be honest, this recipe began as one of those “clean out the fridge” kind of days because you know how it goes when you’ve got three bananas getting spotty on the counter and a half-used tub of Greek yogurt staring at you every time you open the fridge while you’re trying your best to avoid making another plain banana bread.

So I decided to change things up and guess what happened Banana bread brownies came to life. They turned out soft and sweet and buttery with a little bit of vanilla glaze magic on top. They weren’t exactly a cake and they weren’t exactly banana bread and they surely weren’t your usual brownies but somehow, they tasted like the best parts of all three.

Have you ever tried putting a warm glaze over something that just came out of the oven It completely changes the game since it melts right in and makes everything taste like you spent hours baking it even though you really didn’t.
These are the kind of bars you say you’ll just cut a small piece of but then you go back for another and then another. There’s absolutely no judgment here because I’ve done it too.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Mixing bowls “1 large, 1 medium”
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Fork “for mashing bananas”
• Whisk or spoon for mixing
• Rubber spatula
• 9×9 inch baking pan
• Parchment paper “optional but helpful”
• Oven mitts
• Toothpick “for checking doneness”

Tips for

Use overripe bananas : the browner the peel, the sweeter and stronger the banana flavor will be.

Don’t overmix : once the dry and wet ingredients are combined, stop stirring. Overmixing makes the brownies dense and dry.

Add toppings : a cream cheese glaze, powdered sugar dusting, or drizzle of chocolate makes these brownies extra special.

Customize flavors : a dd a pinch of nutmeg or substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a different taste.

Double the recipe : if you’re baking for a crowd, use a 9×13 inch pan and double the ingredients. Just adjust the baking time slightly.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas “about 2–3 medium bananas”
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup light brown sugar “packed”
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

How to Make banana bread brownies :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F “175°C” and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper and prepare the bananas. Peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy. The riper the bananas, the better the flavor.

Step 2

Mix wet ingredients : in a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until well combined then combine dry ingredients : in another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Blend together : slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will make the brownies tough instead of soft and add extras : fold in chocolate chips and nuts if you’re using them.

Step 4

Bake : pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean then cool and cut : let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. This helps them hold their shape and keeps the texture moist.
