Banana Bread Brownies

 Banana Bread Brownies


Oh yes — Banana Bread Brownies are the ultimate mashup: fudgy, moist, banana-rich bars with the chew of a brownie and the cozy flavor of banana bread. Here's a dreamy recipe that'll make your kitchen smell amazing:

🍌🍫 Banana Bread Brownies

🍽️ Makes: 9–12 bars

⏱️ Total time: ~45 minutes

📝 Ingredients:

For the Brownie Base:

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 bananas)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ¾ cup light brown sugar

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

  • ½ cup chocolate chips (or more — go wild!)

Optional Cream Cheese Swirl (for extra decadence):

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Grease or line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Brownie Batter

  1. In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas, melted butter, and both sugars until smooth.

  2. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.

  3. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

  4. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts, if using.

3. Optional: Cream Cheese Swirl

  • In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

4. Assemble

  • Pour banana batter into the prepared pan.

  • If using cream cheese swirl, dollop on top and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

  • Don’t overbake — you want that brownie softness.

6. Cool & Serve

  • Let cool in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing into bars.

  • Store leftovers tightly covered at room temp for up to 3 days (or refrigerate for extra chewiness!).

✨ Tips:

  • Add a drizzle of chocolate ganache or dust with powdered sugar for flair.

  • For a richer chocolate vibe, mix in 2 tbsp cocoa powder and reduce flour slightly.

Want a gluten-free version or one with a full-on chocolate brownie base + banana swirl? I can whip that up too.
