I’m always looking for ways to use up those slightly aged bananas that lurk in the fruit bowl by the end of the week. They have lost their youthful appeal for snacking on, but you know they are full of rich sweetness inside, just prefect for baking. Time to make banana brownies I think! Everybody loves brownies and adding in the banana just makes them even better.
Enjoy!!
