Morecambe and Wise – Banana Boat Song
Baked Banana Brownie with Brown Butter Icing
Always a favorite, this is really more of a cake but it is a bit dense like a brownie hence the name. I subbed sour cream for the greek yogurt this run for sheer laziness to not have to run to the store a second time, works just as well. To medicate I use my medicated coconut oil, recipe and directions found here http://www.thecannachronicles.com/medicated-coconut-oil-recipe/
Ingredients:
1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/3 cup Butter
1/4 cup Medicated Coconut Oil
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
4 Bananas
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
1. Mix the coconut oil, butter, sugars, sour cream, greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
2. Add the bananas and vanilla then give it a quick stir. (I put the banana’s into the bowl and smoosh with a spoon before mixing again)
3. Next add the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts.
4. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
5. Pour batter into a greased 9×13 cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.(sweet spot for my oven is 32-33)
