Recipe: "Banana Bread Brownies"
I have bananas getting overripe, so I decided to try out this recipe for Banana Bread Brownies. While not identical to what I remember from growing up -- it's actually kind of bread-pudding-esque -- it is very tasty. :D Hard to go wrong with half a cup of cocoa powder. This is a good thing to make if you like chocolate and have a couple of bananas giving up the ghost.
For what it's worth, I like hippie recipes, and they tend to have some common threads. Using olive oil instead of butter, bananas or other fruit as sweetener and binder, and less or no refined sugar are examples. This recipe uses olive oil, mashed bananas, and only 1 cup of refined sugars. The original called for coconut sugar but I used white because that's what I have. Also it took 27 minutes in my oven rather than 17, but that's okay.

Thoughts
I love wholegrain flours. I wish there was a good source of multigrain flour -- used to be available in food co-ops or health food stores but I haven't seen any in recent years. After some hunting, we did find dark rye flour so I can make a shortbread cookie recipe with it.
