Delicious! I would never have thought to add banana to brownie batter. But the result is a wonderful, chocolatey cakelike brownie with a nice banana flavor (not overpowering). I thought they were perfect as written. My step-son loves frosted brownies so after cutting off a piece for myself, I used Recipe #70858 to frost the remaining brownies. They would also be good with chocolate chunks added to the batter. Thank you for a great recipe! Made for Went to the Market tag.

These are GREAT brownies! Have made them several times now and my favourite choice of chocolate chips are dark chocolate. They make the brownies so satisfyingly chocolatey. I double my recipe and use a 9 x 13 baking dish because this stuff goes fast no matter what event I take it to. I've also used Splenda in place of sugar a time or two and that's still a fabulous brownie. Good, too, with or without a frosting. Just an all round winner, this one.
