Chocolate and banana is a truly underrated flavor combination. The bitterness of the chocolate helps balance the sweetness of the banana, and in this banana bread brownie recipe, those bananas should be extra ripe and extra sweet!
This homemade banana bread brownie recipe is rich and wonderfully moist - no dry brownies here. I would say this recipe yields a dessert that is more like a brownie than banana bread, texture-wise.
While I love a good banana bread, sometimes you do have to mix things up a bit! This is a perfect recipe to use up those bananas you have laying around, or stuffed in your freezer.

Made it today, and the whole family loved it. Cut out 1/2 the sugar, and the sweetness level was still perfect for everyone.

[@akk9964]

I tried these and they're amazing! My regular brownies are never really gooey, maybe when still warm but when they're cooled down they become harder (not dry). It was like that when I made regular ones and now that I make vegan ones as well, with your recipe and others. But these ones with banana bread, they stay soft even when cooled down and they taste perfect. I will make these ones from now on.

[@GemmaStafford]
