Banana Bread Brownies with a Maple Glaze
Bringing together the best of two great things, these are a winning combo! The glaze could be omitted and it's still a delicious bake, but it definitely adds a level of decadence! The best bananas for this are those ones going black, they have a sweeter flavour!

Ingredients
- 100 g (½ cups) Dark/Semi-Sweet Chocolate Melted
- 170 g (12 tbsp) Unsalted Butter Melted
- 2 (2) Medium Bananas Ripe
- 100 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
- 100 g (½ cups) Light Brown Sugar
- 2 (2) Medium Eggs
- 85 g (⅔ cups) Plain Flour
- 30 g (⅓ cups) Cocoa Powder
- 150 g (1 cup) Milk Chocolate Chopped
For the Glaze
- 60 g (5 tbsp) Butter Melted
- 100 ml (½ cups) Maple Syrup
- 230 g (2 cups) Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 370℉/180℃. Line an 8" Square Pan with greaseproof paper.
- In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the melted butter, bananas and both sugars. Go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs and combine again.
- Now, add the melted dark chocolate slowly (check it first, to make sure it isn't so hot that it will cook the eggs) and combine once again.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and the chopped chocolate. Fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before making the glaze.
- Make the glaze: combine the melted butter, maple syrup and icing sugar with a whisk until smooth. Leave about 10 minutes before pouring over, then let set in the fridge before slicing and serving!
