Brownies are my weakness. If I make them in the house, I’m sure to almost eat them all before I even think about sharing them. I love their fudgy texture and how they are packed full of chocolate flavor. They’re every chocolate lover’s dream.
Luckily for me, I have a few good recipes that always satiate my craving. However, this recipe is new and quickly becoming a household favorite. The mix uses mashed bananas so it gives a nice, tropical taste right smack in the middle of a typical-looking brownie. Plus I topped them all with sweet cinnamon-cream cheese frosting. How can you help but love this dish?
