There are certain desserts that feel like a warm hug. Banana bread is one of them—humble, nostalgic, and impossibly comforting. Brownies are another—rich, fudgy, and deeply satisfying. For years, I couldn't decide which one I craved more. Then it hit me: why choose?
These Banana Bread Brownies are the delicious love child of your two favorite baked goods. They have the tender, buttery crumb and sweet banana warmth of classic banana bread, with the dense, fudgy richness of a brownie. A crackly, slightly crisp top gives way to an impossibly soft, almost fudge-like center. And yes, they're just as easy as stirring together a loaf—no electric mixer required.
Whether you have spotty bananas begging to be used or simply want a dessert that feels both familiar and entirely new, this one is about to become your new favorite.
