I love brownies but they have to be fudgy brownies. I mean, if I wanted a cakey brownie I would have just had cake. Also, I don’t like nuts in my brownies. I like nuts, just not in my brownies.
These brownies are rich, very chocolaty, fudgy, and without nuts. That makes these an A+ in my book.
After so many years of making brownies I wanted to try some new variations. Here’s what I came up with:
Banana Fudge Brownie Pie
by: Back For Seconds
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 large banana (cut into pieces)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (for garnish, optional)
- sliced bananas (for garnish, optional)
Preheat oven to 350*
In a large bowl stir together melted butter and cocoa. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time. Mix in the flour until well combined and gently stir in the banana slices. Pour into greased 8″ spring form pan or pie plate. Bake at 350* about 20 minutes. Do not over bake – you want these fudgy!
Let cool. When ready to serve, top with ice cream (or whipped cream), and more banana slices. Drizzle with melted peanut butter. Enjoy!

This looks amazing. I agree, fudgy brownies are better than cake like brownies. I really like the peanut butter on top!
