TIPS FOR PERFECT BANANA BROWNIES:
- Hot melted butter creates those crackly tops!
- Whisk your hot melted butter and sugar really well.
- Try NOT over bake them and keep your eye on them.
- Bake the brownies in the middle of your oven to prevent the top or bottom from getting too hot.
- You will need to pour the batter into prepared pan as soon as it is done mixing. You do not want to set this aside for later as the brownie batter will become too thick and hard.
- Because these brownies are so fudgy, when a toothpick is inserted, it should not come out clean. The brownies are done when the surface has developed the crackly thin layer and the middle is no longer jiggly.
- The riper the banana, the sweeter! So adjust the sugar as per your taste!
- Make sure you let the brownies cool and set for 30 minutes before slicing.
HOW LONG DO BROWNIES STAY FRESH?
Cooled brownies can be stored in an air tight container to prevent drying out, and kept at room temperature for 3-4 days. Or you can place the container in the fridge to add a few more days, keeping the brownies fresh for up to a week.
CAN YOU FREEZE BROWNIES?
Yes, brownies can be frozen in a whole piece or by wrapping individually. Make sure they have completely cooled. Then wrap in two layers of plastic wrap and two layers of aluminum foil Frozen brownies will stay fresh for up to 3 months. Let frozen brownies warm to room temperature before microwaving for about 10 seconds and enjoying warm.
