banana brownies

• So this friday after three and a half grueling hours of gymnastics jordan zoe and I went on back to my house to bake. We were really feelin some brownies so we decided to whip some up. Like the geniuses we are, we did not check to see if all of the indgredients were available BEFORE cooking. So halfway through someone discovered there werent enough eggs. 
• Although I was tempted to panic and give up, i didnt. GO ME! instead, a banana to egg equivalent was googled. We just mashed up half of a banana with a fourth teaspoon of baking powder for each missing egg and added that.
• In the end, everything worked out and we ended up with a delish banana-chocolate explosion of brownie goodness. 

• THIS was the final recipe:
• 
  
• 6 (1 ounce) squares 100% unsweetened chocolate
• 1 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 4 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 over ripe bananas

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Melt chocolate in a double boiler (over hot but not boiling water).
3. Add in butter and stir until melted.
4. Remove pan from heat.
5.  Stir in sugar. Mix in eggs and vanilla. 
6. Stir in flour.
7. Mash bananas and baking powder in a separate bowl.
8. Add banana mixture to chocolate mixture and mix thoroughly.
9. Spread in greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake for 45 minutes (except maybe more...)

The above recipe does have one flaw...ZOE decided to pull the brownies out of the oven a little before they were done. Or a lot. We ended up with some brownie like substance around the edges of the pan and some...pudding? Which was admittedly delicious, and even turned into sliceable brownie by the next day.

But yeah, we ate our "brownies" with spoons :)
