I love finding these recipes that just seem too simple and easy to be any good and of course they are awesome like this one for Banana Brownie Bread. We had a couple of bananas in the fruit bowl that were just perfect for banana bread and while I was out looking at recipes online, as I tend to do, I found this one for banana bread with a brownie mix! Seriously? So I had to try it and this was what was left after it cooled enough for the hungry boys at my house to give it a try. The recipe comes from a blog called “Oh So Shabby By Debbie” and it’s a keeper!
2 very ripe bananas
1 (1 pound, 2.4 oz) brownie mix
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 Heat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray for baking.
2 In medium bowl, mash bananas with fork. Stir in brownie mix, melted butter and egg just until moistened. Pour batter into pan.
3 Bake 40 – 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing.
WOW. Such an easy and yummy-looking recipe!
It was gone pretty quick, that’s how I know it was a success. And it truly was so easy, who’d have thought of putting a brownie mix together with bananas?
