Happy New Year to all my readers and families!! Hope everyone is excited about the new year and has lots of resolutions to bring out the better us. As always, one of my new year resolutions is to be active in the blog with new posts frequently. I have shared very fewer blog posts in 2018 though I am pretty much active on Instagram. So, to start making up for that I am here with a recipe on the very first day. Today's recipe is an awesome idea to use leftover overripe bananas. At home, we don't like ripe bananas and hence I hunt for suggestions using the leftover bananas and I always end up making Banana Bread, Banana Muffin, Unniyappam, Banana Dosa or Sweet Bonda. Recently, I came across this Tasty video that explains this yummy fudge brownie and I gave it a try. It is a super quick recipe and it tastes really yummy. I have shared Chocolate Walnut Brownie and Eggless Walnut Brownie earlier in the blog.
Ingredients:Flour - 3/4 Cup(Maida)
Cocoa Powder - 1/4 Cup
Ripe Bananas - 2
Sugar - 1/2 Cup(see notes)
Unsalted Butter - 1/2 Cup(melted)
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Creamy peanut butter(unsweetened) - 1/2 Cup
Method:
1. Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl really well. Add the sugar and mix it until combined.
2. Along with this add the vanilla essence and the melted butter. Mix it until everything incorporates and keep it aside.
3. Now sieve the flour and cocoa once for even mixing. Along with this dry mixture, add the prepared banana, sugar and butter mixture. Whisk everything until well combined.
4. Pour the batter into the greased pan or the pan layered with parchment paper. Use a spoon to add dollops of peanut butter on top of the batter. Use a butter knife or fork to swirl the peanut butter into the brownie batter. (Adjust the peanut butter as per your need)
5. Preheat the oven at 180-degree Celsius and bake it at the same temperature for 25-30 minutes or until the centre no longer jiggles when the pan is shaken. Allow the brownie to cool completely and cut it into slices.
Enjoy the fudge brownies with a cup of milk or icecream.
- The original recipe calls for 1 Cup of Sugar and I prefer mild sweetness hence added only 1/2 Cup of Sugar. You can adjust the sugar between 1/2 cup to 1 cup based on your sweet preference.
- Adjust the peanut butter as per your need and you can also skip it if you don't like it.
- We have not added baking powder or baking soda, hence this brownie will not rise. It is a fudge brownie and will not have a texture similar to cake or regular brownie.
- Baking temperature and time vary with different ovens. Hence, adjust it based on yours. If you over bake the brownie it will turn hard.
