White Chocolate Banana Brownies

I recently got this recipe from Back For Second's blog, and I wanted to share it here on Instructables.

These yummy little squares taste a bit like banana bread, but have a sweet, rich flavor from the white chocolate.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

• 4 oz white chocolate

• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

• 1 egg

• 120 grams of flour

• 2 medium ripe bananas

• 1/2 cup white sugar

• 1 tsp anilla extract

Also, preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.

Step 2: Melt It!

Put the butter and chocolate in a medium sized metal bowl and heat over low or medium low heat until melted.

If you are a bit squeamish about putting a metal mixing bowl on your stove, don't worry! You can easily melt this in your microwave using a glass bowl in 30 second bursts.

Step 3: Mash and Mix

In a smaller mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a wooden spoon or potato masher.

Add the sugar to the melted butter and chocolate, stirring thoroughly.

Add the mashed bananas to the butter/sugar/chocolate mixture.

Stir in the egg,

and the salt,

and the vanilla extract.

Finally, add the flour and mix completely.

Step 4: Pan Up and Bake

Move this mixture to an 8 inch square pan that you have pre-lubed with baking spray.

Park it in your 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out (mostly) clean.

Cool for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Cut and Serve

To cut these brownies (bananies?) i inverted the pan over a plate (Running a knife around the perimeter will help this). Then, cut into 16 lovely little cubes.

If you were going to garnish these, a bit of powdered sugar compliments the pale yellow color quite nicely!

I made these brownies and they where a huge hit with my family!!! nom nom nom!!!

[DeniseB2]

Since I come from a country that uses different measures for ingredients, I have calculated the approximate differences. You may want to add or extract a bit from the numbers. :)

50g butter

100g white chocolate

1/4 tsp salt (if you use salted butter, forget this ingredient)

1 egg

120g flour

2 ripe bananas

60g sugger

1 tsp vanilia extract

preheat oven to 175 degrees celsius.

I hope it helps! :)

Hello... Any replacement for egg?

[dsantil71]

If ur trying to limit the fat & cholesterol from the eggs, you can omit the egg yolk & use 2 egg whites instead. Applesauce is a 1 for 1 substitute for fats such as butter, margarine & lard.

[JonathanMalott]

You might get away with using 1/4 cup of apple sauce... If you try it let me know how it turns out!

I think cocoa would fit better than powdered sugar for decoration...
I'd also suggest trying some additional melted white chocolate, when the whole has gotten cold...

[dsantil71]

I like the cocoa idea a lot!!

[pawarana]

white chocolate does not exist

[dsantil71]

Ditto

[JonathanMalott]

true, but everyone knows what it is.

You meant vanilla extract not something else like almond right? 120 grams equals 4 ozs or 1/2 cup right? Just making sure.

[toby-wan-kenobe]

These look really good and i will give them a try. It is slightky vexing that you have used 3 different units of measurement, g, oz and cups. Any chance you could make this more consistant and just use one eg g. Thanks.

[JonathanMalott]

I see how that could be confusing. I usually only use grams and cups, but the chocolate bar was exactly 4 ounces.

[Kaibosh]

I have not stopped salivating since clicking on the link. I never really think of Instructables for recipes, but am definitely glad that you posted this!

[Chain N Sprocket]

This I've got to try.

[mmashup]

ooo I bet a bit of dark chocolate or banana drizzle over the top and some walnuts would be amazing..

[JonathanMalott]

That would be delicious, and make it look cool!

[punkgirl]

Great little recipe, I think I'll give this a go in the coming days as I have just been inundated with bananas! One thing though, you forgot to add the flour in your write up. Otherwise great instructions :)

[JonathanMalott]

thanks for catching that! I just fixed it :)
