Recipe: Banana Pudding Brownies
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Batter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Banana Pudding Swirl:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, sweetened condensed milk, milk, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the banana pudding mixture over the brownie batter in the baking dish, using a spoon or spatula to swirl it into the batter.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the baking dish for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
