Why Are They A Must-Try?

Beyond satisfying your dual dessert cravings, these brownies boast a creamy texture complemented by the fresh sweetness of mature bananas. It’s a comforting treat that’s sure to delight your senses.

Ready, set, bake!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
• 1¾ cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ripe banana mash
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tub (8 ounces) whipped topping

Bonus Ingredients:

• Dark chocolate chips (for a chocolaty twist)
• ½ cup sour cream (for a moist texture)
• Chopped nuts or chocolate bits (for a crunchy surprise)

Steps to Bliss:

Warm Up: Set your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Prep a 9×13 inch baking pan with a touch of grease and a sprinkle of flour to make sure your brownies don’t play hard to get.

Whip It Good: In a sizable bowl, blend the cooled melted butter and sugar until it’s light and gives you fluffy vibes.

Eggs Join the Party: Break in the eggs, one by one, ensuring each gets its moment to shine.

Banana Business: Stir in the banana mash. Remember, the more mature the banana, the sweeter the serenade.

Dry & Wet Waltz: In a dance partner bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Now, introduce this mix to its wet counterpart. Remember, no rush; let them get acquainted gently.

Pour Some Sweetness: Stream in the condensed milk. This gives the brownies their irresistibly lush texture.

Set the Stage: Pour the batter into your pan, smoothing out any diva lumps.

Oven Magic: Let your creation bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick, when poked, emerges unscathed. Allow the brownie star to cool off after the performance.

Whipped Dream: Finally, lay down a cloud of whipped topping on your cooled brownie base, turning each bite into a sublime experience.

Baking Notes:

• Golden Bananas: Peak maturity equals peak flavor.

• Whip Wisely: A light whipped topping balances out the richness.
