Makes 4 adam’s with a sweet tooth, or 6 everday adam’s

It’s hard to stop Adam from digging into these right from the oven. He is right beside Ottis salivating for these bad boys to be ready. This is more pudding then brownie, so don’t expect to be able to hold them in your hand.

ingredients

4 ounces of caramel chips (Adam’s favorite), or 4 ounces of semi sweet chocolate
1 cup mashed, ripe banana (about 2 large bananas)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all- purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Banana Topping layer:
1 cup mashed banana
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup soy milk (you must use this versus regular milk. They will not turn out otherwise)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Optional:
1 Banana thinly sliced to go on top of brownies after they are baked.
