Another Brownie - Chocolate Banana Brownie

I decided to try another brownie recipe again.  This time, I needed  a recipe that did not require 2 cups of brown sugar since I did not have enough on hand.  I also needed the recipe to have bananas.  Chocolate and bananas are such a great combination.  Better then zucchini.

I found a recipe...and made one change to it.  I added a 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. Hmmm...here it is:

Banana Choco-Coconut Brownie

Preheat the oven to 325 F.

You will need:

1/2 cup of butter
2/3 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 egg
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 ripe banana
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1/4 tsp of salt
3/4 cup of flour
1/2 cup of shredded sweetened coconut

1. In a sauce pan on low to medium heat, melt butter.  Then add the chocolate chips until they have melted and you have a chocolate ganache mix.  Set aside.

2. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, egg, vanilla, coconut and salt.  Mix well til there are no lumps of brown sugar and egg is thoroughly mixed.

3. Add the chocolate mixture to the brown sugar and egg. Mix well.

4. Add flour and mix til batter is well incorporated.

5. Pour into a greased pan 8 inch pan (again I used the same pan as I did for the butterscotch brownies).  Spread evenly.

6. Bake for 30 minutes.  Do not over bake.

7. When it is done, let it cool before cutting.
