Great dessert to use up those over ripe bananas on.  I wasn't sure I would like something called brownies without it being a chocolate base, but these are delicious although weirdly named.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 banana
• 2 cups chocolate chips (I used milk, but recipe called for semi-sweet)
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, salt and vanilla
3. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth
4. Add in the flour and banana
5. Mix once more until all is combined
6. Fold in the 2 cups of chocolate chips.  Batter will be thick, that is okay.
7. Pour mixture into greased 9 x 13 baking pan, spread evenly.
8. Sprinkle additional 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top of batter.
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
10. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting.
