These were tasty, yet not brownies like I was expecting. I have to agree with Denise about it being more like a bread than a brownie. If you really want banana brownies, make a basic brownie batter and add mashed bananas.

AMAZING. What took them over the top was the chocolate chips I added instead of nuts. A BIG hit in my house.

Very moist and quite bananary. More cakey than fudgy brownies but they are very tasty. I used a mixture of nuts, dried fruit and roughly chopped milk chocolate bar. I think this additional chocolate made them a bit greasy.

I doubled this recipe and took to work , they were a hit, so moist and I did frost them. everyone wants the recipe. thanks so much for another way to use bananas

I'm sorry, but these tasted more like banana bread than brownies. They were VERY moist and certainly easy to put together, however even though I followed the directions exactly we didn't taste much chocolate in them. The kids liked them and they certainly weren't bad, just not what we were expecting.
