THURSDAY - Time for a Chocolate Sugar-High
Still got bananas to use? Forget Banana Bread (lovely though it is) Chocolate Banana Coconut Brownies are the way to go!
Chocolate, banana and coconut is an amazing fusion of flavours. The rich coconut and creamy banana add a distinct tropical fruitiness which perfectly offsets the banana. The additional texture you get from tiny chewy coconut bits also adds an unexpected extra dimension.
I have made these a number of times and recently took some to a leaving do. I overheard a couple of people (who went back for a second snaffle) exclaim 'wow these are good.... I wonder who made them?!' (Big smile across face!!!)
