Banana Rum Brownies

A simple twist on the standard brownie recipe, so you can make brownies using whatever recipe you have saved up, or even use pre-packaged brownie mix and add the banana rum mix to complete it. A lot of fun can be had by trying different combination of Brownie mixtures to find the one you like best..

I actually chose this from a myriad of boozy options for an Experimental Alcohol party, where all the guests needed to bring some food containing alcohol. There were some fantastic foods on the day.. the Vodka Key Lime Pie was lovely!

Banana Rum Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 box (about 1 lb 5 oz) brownie mix
• 1/4 cup chocolate or regular milk - I used Almond Milk :)
• 1 Tbsp rum or vanilla extract - *cough* I added a lot more Rum than this, but still couldn't taste it ;)
• 3 Bananas, cubed
• 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans

Method

• Prepare brownie mix as directed on package in large bowl; set aside.
• Heat milk and extract in medium saucepan, until hot. Add bananas and stir for 1 minute to heat through.
• Pour banana mixture and nuts into brownie mix and stir. Pour into lightly greased 9-inch square pan.
• Bake at 350°F/180°C, 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Cut into bars.
