Rich & delicious. Great recipe if you have too ripe bananas on hand. I didn't have self-raising flour so I just used all-purpose. This is one of the best brownie recipes that I've tried, even with the surprising ingred. of bananas.

Just WOW!! brownies and banana bread are my most favourite cakes both to eat and to bake but I never thought of combining these two together. Until today. Thank you so much for sharing this super easy recipe. I just tried it out, even the batter tasted amazing not to mention the cake itself. So moist and fluffy, I added chopped walnuts and some desiccated coconut. Can't wait to share it with my colleagues tomorrow :))

Lovely soft cake-like consistency and not too sweet which suits me. I added 1 Tbsp of chia seeds to the mashed banana as I try to get those in whenever I can. Perfect amount of chocolate in my opinion. Thank you for an easy and tasty recipe.

Great recipe but I had to improvise by using milo instead of Cocoa Powder, about half the sugar and Nutella instead of chocolate and an extra Banana. Love them even more that way.

Wow, easy and tasty. We all (adults and kids) went for seconds.
