Banana Brownies
"These came from the Golden Book of Chocolate, published by apple.
Unlike other brownie recipes these aren't extremely sweet, but still have a strong flavour of banana and cocoa. They have a good consistency, not too heavy so are very easy to snack on. I make them in bite-sized muffin cases because they're great for packed lunches."

This was fabulous! It had the texture of banana cake but still tasted like a brownies. I skipped the nuts and changed it to regular chocolate and used dark chocolate cocoa powder because that is what I had. I was really surprised that these didn't need salt but they still turned out great.

I love baking sweet things, particularly those with chocolate in them! I am trying to make a bigger effort to make savoury things though, as much as I'd like to live on sugar, I suppose it isn't that healthy :-(
