I was wondering how to zest-up the traditional brownie recipe and, coincidentally, had a banana as well. If you're a banana-lover, you'll dig this recipe! The banana also moistens the brownie bars, so it's a win-win!

EXCELLENT!! When they first came out of the oven I thought they looked dry and flat -- they weren't! Brought them to the office and they were gone in minutes!! Did not alter the recipe in any way. Read More

I made this according to the instructions. Unfortunately I really didn’t care for them. I think they’re probably only as good as the brownie mix and I had a cheap one. Read More

My inspiration today for making these brownies came from the fact that I had a VERY ripe banana on hand as well as a box of Ghiradelli Chocolate Supreme Brownie mix which was past the "best by..." date (oops!). The banana not only yielded a super moist brownie but added a great subtle banana flavor as well. Very easy very tasty and I would make this recipe again. Read More

Oh man this is sooo good! I just made these and the only difference is that I used pecans because that is what I already had on hand. I'm not even a big fan of brownie but these are really tasty! I'll be making them this way from now on!:D Read More

I don't know if I like the banana flavor, but I think it makes this a slightly more nutritious alternative. Read More

These turned out great! Moist fluffy and delicious. Next time I may even add a second banana. I subbed pecans because that's what I had on hand and they worked just fine instead of walnuts. Read More

Followed exactly except did not fold walnuts in. I sprinkled on top on half the pan because not all of my family likes nuts in their brownies. That being said this tasted delicious. I baked for 23 min as written. I think next time I ll bake it less because they were a tad bit drier than my liking. These lean toward a cake like texture than fudgey??. Read More
