Super Rich And Decadent Brown Butter Banana Brownies

These Brown Butter Banana Brownies are super indulgent. They are rich and fudgy and those bananas add just the right amount of sweetness. They are the perfect treat to make use of those over ripe bananas.

In my house we go through a lot of bananas. We use them for smoothies, sliced and used as a topper for cereal or just as is as a quick on the go snack. So I always try to buy several bunches to get us through the week. Now most of the time every last one of them gets eaten but every once in a while there are a couple of stragglers that get left behind and start to develop those brown spots. Now in my option that’s the best way to eat them. When this happens, I usually peel them and stick them in the freezer for a future smoothie but every now and then I like to include them in a recipe. Now I have made my fair share of Banana Bread and I must say it’s delicious but sometimes I just want to try something different. Being I was kinda in the mood for Brownies, I thought that adding banana’s would be a great addition. They would add a slight sweetness and contribute to their fudgy texture.

Why You Will Love These Brownies:

• Texture: These brownies are moist and tender and are super fudgy. This is accomplished by not overcooking them. A brownie should have slightly crispy edges while still being slightly soft in the center.
• Flavor: Talk about decadence. The brown butter and the bittersweet chocolate add to the brownies richness while the super ripe bananas add just the right amount of sweetness.
• Banana’s: This is a great way to use those extra ripe banana’s that no one wants to eat.
• Ease: This recipe is quite easy to make . The recipe comes together pretty quickly with ingredients you probably already have .

Ingredients Needed To Make These Brownies

• Brown Butter: If you want to add a ton of flavor to your recipes without adding a bunch of ingredients then brown butter is the way to go. The simple step of cooking the butter until the the milk solids slightly brown, creating a toasted nutty flavor.
• Bittersweet Chocolate Chips: I love the richness of bittersweet chocolate chips but a semi sweet chocolate chip will work as well.
• Sugar: For these brownies I used granulated sugar. Not only does it add sweetness but also help create great texture.
• Eggs: Always make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will help them blend in more smoothly.
• Vanilla Extract: I always try and opt for pure vanilla extract rather than imitation vanilla extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
• Flour: All purpose flour works well for this recipe. If you would like to make them gluten free I would opt for a 1:1 gluten free flour blend, like the King Arthurs Brand.
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: It is important to use a good quality cocoa powder. I like to use King Arthurs Double Dark Unsweetened Cocoa.
• Salt: A pinch of salt will enhance the flavors in these brownies.
• Espresso Powder: A must for any recipe containing chocolate. It helps to enhance the chocolate flavor.
• Banana’s: The riper the better. Just peel and mash and add them to your recipe.

Storing Your Brownies:

If you have any brownies left over, it is best to store them in a Food Storage Container the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Once you are ready to eat them, you can place them on the counter for several minutes to bring them back to room temperature or you can microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds if you can’t wait.
