Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 eggs, well beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup chopped pecans (Optional)

Frosting:

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

  • 2 tablespoons milk, or more as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square glass baking dish.

  2. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on low power in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

  3. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Add melted chocolate, bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended. Stir in pecans. Spread batter in the prepared baking dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool, about 25 minutes.

  5. Combine butter and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in confectioners' sugar and milk. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is spreading consistency.

  6. Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Cut into squares.

Use a cast iron skillet to cook perfectly juicy and tender chicken breasts. Make sure your skillet is hot and the chicken sizzles as it hits the pan to prevent sticking.

This recipe can also use rum instead of bourbon and also you can use chocolate wafers instead of vanilla wafers. Be sure to age these for at least a few days in a tin before serving.

These moist and delicious carrot and pineapple cupcakes are so good that I served them at my wedding reception instead of a traditional wedding cake. They are a hit every time, especially with cream cheese frosting! I have my mom to thank for this awesome recipe.
