- [adinserter block="1"]
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13 inch baking pan for easy brownie removal.
- Butter & Sugar Blend: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your brownies.
- Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition for a perfectly tender texture.
- Banana Mash: Gently fold in the mashed bananas. The riper they are, the better the flavor and sweetness!
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk for an extra-rich, moist brownie batter.
- Pour into Pan: Evenly spread the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes. It's ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely.
- Whipped Cream Topping: Once cooled, spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top for a creamy, light finish.
Notes
Choose Ripe Bananas: Opt for overripe bananas to enhance flavor and natural sweetness. Butter Temperature: Ensure your melted butter cools to room temperature to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely. Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until combined to keep your brownies tender and avoid toughness. Customize with Extras: Add dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or ½ cup of sour cream to personalize your brownies. Prep Your Pan: Grease and flour your pan thoroughly to ensure the brownies slide out effortlessly. Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Avoid overbaking! Cool Completely: Allow brownies to cool fully before spreading on the whipped cream topping. Whipped Cream Topping: Use light, airy whipped cream to provide a delightful contrast to the dense, moist brownies. Storage: These brownies store well, making them an excellent make-ahead dessert option. Serving Ideas: Perfect for casual gatherings, birthdays, or holiday celebrations.
