I only used 1 teaspoon of vanilla because that's all I had on hand, and I added 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon into the banana/milk mixture. When the brownies cooled, I frosted them with chocolate frosting. They were excellent. I shared them with a neighbor, and he loved them too. They taste like a gourmet chocolate banana bread, very rich, moist and flavorful. The next time I make them I will add the nuts because I didn't have those on hand this time. Thank you for the great recipe!

I thought they were great - very moist and did not dry out. My kids however didn't like them too much...they saw and tasted the banana bits and they prefer the more traditional type of brownie. But if you can get kids to try them, then that's one more way to get some fruit into their diet! Thanks for submitting the recipe!
