Moist, chocolate, banana infused brownies are topped with a peanut butter and banana frosting for a rich and delicious dessert.

Is it just me, or is it when you want to eat all the bananas, they turn brown super fast, but when you want brown bananas, they take forever to turn?? It seems like these days, I’m either drowning in overripe or underripe bananas. Luckily, we are banana lovers at our house, so even if they aren’t in the form that I’m wanting at that moment, I can find a way to use them!!

While there is nothing wrong with regular ol’ banana bread, I’m on a kick lately – turning those bananas into just about anything but the ordinary. At this rate, you all may start to think that all I do is hoard the bananas to let them go overripe to make something else with them. Hopefully you all love bananas just as much as I do. 🙂

I’ve done muffins, banana bread variations, cake, even cookies, but this time around, I thought I’d experiment with brownies. As much as I love brownies, I don’t have a lot of recipes for them here on Taste and Tell, so I thought I’d remedy that.

These brownies have a great banana base, making them moist and chocolatey and giving them the perfect amount of banana flavor. And if that wasn’t enough, (which really, you could totally get away with just making the brownies), I decided to top them with frosting. And what goes well with bananas and chocolate? Peanut butter!! You also get an extra kick of banana flavor with banana right in the frosting.

These are rich and moist and everything you want from a brownie. And something totally different to do with those overripe bananas. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself hoarding bananas now, too!!
