My wife bought a box of Ghirardelli multi pack brownies at Costcos...so I'll skip making the scratch part & go straight to adding the bananas! This recipe calls to me in my near future!

Update: DELISH!!! Also added a little baking powder to make it a tad more "cakey". Also, after cooking and cooling, I cut an inch of the perimeter of the brownies (9x9 pan) and cut bite size (crunchier) caramelized pieces! woah...great with a coffee! 👍👍

Usually hate cooked bananas but will def try this cos it's from Chef John.
I always love the videos that contain a... ahem, an opportunity for improvement... as they show us how to recover from them! As someone whose creme brulee torch has been shelved for a long while due to a brief, but smelly, exposure to brunt sugar, this might be what I needed to find a reason to use it again!
The dry ingredients are the ones which are not wet. The wet ingredients therefore become the "not dry ingredients". I Love it. Another of my favourite KZreadrs, Life of Boris, called eggs 'chicken produce', but has also been known to call a chicken an "eggbird." As a Spike Milligna (the well known typing error) fan from way back, this appeals to my sense of the ridiculous.
I saw your video last night, and made a batch of brownies this afternoon. Oh my, were they good!! I did substitute a 8x11.5 in glass pan with no issues. I also didn't have chocolate squares, so I used my cocoa/melted butter mix. They were still amazing. Unfortunately, even cut into 12 pieces, I don't think they will last through the night with 4 adults in the house. Thank you Chef, for all the great videos.😍 (from St. Thomas, Ontario)
The crumbs on the plate at the end form the world’s sweetest smiley face

Well, Chef John's banana bread is our favorite all time. Our go-to banana bread. Now brownies too? This looks great.
Chef John was trying to open a portal to Heaven with this recipe
This looks like a great recipe -- easy to make and combines two classic desserts in a fresh original way.
Sending love to you and your wife and I hope you have a great year in both kitchen and garden 🪴😻
Sorry to say this but the viewing of this video reminded me of a dessert we once had in the Army messhall, way back when, while serving overseas.
Looks delicious 😋
i literally have a bunch of bananas in my kitchen rn, this is a sign
That intro and that lilting cadence. ❤ I haven’t watched for a bit. Feels just like coming home.
Made these without the banana topping and they were still fantastic. Thanks Chef John!
This recipe reminds me of when I had “Banana Foster Crème Brûlée.” So, I’m definitely going to try this soon! Thank you, Chef John! 😊
I think my preferred done-ness for brownies might be what Chef John is calling overcooked. They should have a firm chewiness to them with a crispiness around the edges.
Excellent description of "Dry ingredients" !
Just one word, Chef John: YUM!
Been looking for this 😊

Interesting!!!!
I tried substituting 2oz of Nutella instead of the melted chocolate (because bananas and Nutella are awesome together) and it works quite well.
I'm surprised that you didn't add cayenne to the batter. That would have been interesting with the chocolate and sweet banana.

I use a handheld immersion blender to prep bananas.
This would work well with pecan nuts too😊
This looks very delicious. I've never had creme Brule. Looks like I need to make this recipe and creme Brule as well. Hopefully, Chef John has a recipe for that as well. Edit - Chef John only has a recipe for pumpkin creme Brule. I sincerely hope he makes a video for cream Brule very soon since his recipes are my absolute favorite.

It’s my birthday this weekend. I will make this for me🎉
Awesome idea.
BTW anyone know how to make crumbly spicy hot praline to sprinkle on sweet puddings?
New skill unlocked: banana brûlée.
Good alternative to the brûlée might be Adam Ragusea's "make burned caramel and pour it on" approach! This looks so good...

Fantastic. Other than the burnt sugar in the walnuts, but that's easily remedied. I'm thinking more along the lines of finishing with butter and brown sugar. For kind of a banana is foster effect.

What if the banana is sugared before baking?
You can just squeeze the banana before you open it and it will be soft so you don’t have to cut it.
His oven is always so clean. Drives me crazy. Lol

Add sugar to the sliced bananas and bake the whole thing together 😊
you could probably pull it 5 minutes early from the oven, add the sugar on top and put it back in to finish baking? though that wouldn't quite "brulee" it...
Although there's some chocolate in it, this looks like a blondie. I wonder if you could make it a blondie and brown the butter.
You are the bandana head of your banana bread.
these look busting for real for real

Please keep in mind I am saying this after sourcing the information from what I heard people say on the internet, rather than actually doing proper research, so yeah, take it with a pinch of salt. From what I understand, self rising flour in the U.S. comes with salt included from the milling side of things, while in alot of other countries (Canada and Australia being two of these countries) the salt isn't added to the flour when it's milled. So I guess, if you get the plain flour and add everything yourself, you can control what goes in - or doesn't go in.
