  • measuring spoons
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 medium sauce pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (2 sticks)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

BROWNIES:

  • Mix butter, eggs, sugars, salt and vanilla with an electric mixer until well mixed.
  • Add flour, mashed banana, pecans and chocolate chunks.
  • 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.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes just until lightly golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before adding Fudge Frosting.
  • Allow icing to set about 15 minutes before cutting into bars.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE ICING:

  • Cook butter and cocoa in medium sauce pan for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.
  • Remove from burner.
  • Add powdered sugar and milk and whisk to combine.

NOTE: You really have to spread the icing fast or it will harden too quickly.
