smudgy banana bread

Brownie Banana Bread, Smudgy and Fudgy

Miranda | My Anosmic Kitchen
This is a banana bread recipe that tastes like a chocolate fudge brownie! The baked and caramelized sugar coating give it a crunchy sweet taste.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsps coco powder
  • 1 tbsps dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsps muscovado sugar (or stick with dark brown)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 180 and lay baking paper (or use cooking spray) in a baking bread tin. 
  • Mash the banana, add into bowl and follow up with the next 3 ingredients (yes they are in the order you would use them) so it would be the egg, essence and butter. 
  • In a separate bowl add the next 6 ingredients. Flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and coco powder.
  • Add the banana mix (wet ingredients) into the flour mix (dry ingredients). Combine everything until you get a nice chocolate batter. This is when you can add chocolate chips if adding any. 
  • Pour into the prepared baking tin and bake for anything between 40 to 60 minutes. The minute your batter goes into the oven drop the heat from 180 to 160 and bake until done.  Test it with a toothpick, if it comes out clean its done its it comes out damp its not. 
  • If you find that the sugar is burning on top cover it with a piece of foil and lower the heat even lower. Rather bake it on lower for longer so that the sugar caramelizes on top. 
  • Once it has baked (and the toothpick is clean enough remember it wont be completely clean but that's fine as long as it doesn't come out with batter all over it) Allow it to cool for maybe 15 minutes and then slide a blunt knife on the edges to loosen it up. You shouldn't have to go all the way down with the knife if you sprayed the tin properly. Or simply life the paper out of the tin and cool the loaf on a wrack. 
  • Normally my banana loaf lasts for 48 hours when we are civilized and have a slice with tea or coffee but not this bread. It didn't last an hour and it was gone!
