CHUNKY MONKEY BANANA BROWNIES RECIPE - (4/5)

Chunky Monkey Banana Brownies Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-46561

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups Gold medal UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup banana, mashed with a fork (about one medium-large banana)
10 ounces Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate baking melts (or 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips)
1/4 cup Nestle's chocolate chips for the top

Steps:

Mix butter, eggs, sugars, salt and vanilla with an electric mixer until well mixed. Add flour, mashed banana and baking melts (or chocolate chips). Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Spray a 9x13" glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spread brownie mixture into prepared pan. Smooth the top with a knife or rubber spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes just until lightly golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Tips:

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature before placing the brownies inside.
To achieve a fudgy texture, use melted butter instead of softened butter, as it creates a denser and more decadent brownie.
Incorporate an extra egg yolk to enhance the richness and moisture of the brownies.
For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a combination of cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips.
Mix in a teaspoon of instant coffee powder or espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor and add a subtle hint of bitterness.
Before adding the chunky monkey mixture, fold in a cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty crunch.
Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares, as this helps them set and prevents them from falling apart.
For a gooey center, underbake the brownies by a few minutes.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the delectable combination of chocolate and bananas with these Chunky Monkey Banana Brownies. The blend of cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips delivers an intense chocolate experience, while the mashed bananas add moisture and natural sweetness. With the addition of chunky monkey mixture, these brownies are elevated to a new level of indulgence. Whether you enjoy them warm and gooey or chilled and firm, these brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Experiment with different toppings such as whipped cream, ice cream, or caramel sauce to create a truly decadent dessert experience. Remember to store the brownies properly to maintain their freshness and enjoy them at their best.
