So I was in the mood for a cake/brownies today he he well, ever since coming back from France and my Grandma's house in England I was determined to be a better baker. I found a recipe for brownies, tweaked it a little and added ripe banana and voila this baby was born. It was so good hubby had two slices straight after each other and he's a health nut, so he liked it!I am in the Food Bloggers group started by the lovely Amanda of Amanda's Cookin and recently they were talking about using props so I found this tea towel and couldn't resist!

- 1/2 cup all purpose flour

This seems like such a natural combination for a dessert since chocolate and banana are basically a match made in heaven. Delicious.
I too noticed your prop immediately and loved it. I will say though, all your photos are lovely the way they are and because they often include glimpses into the 'bigger area' of your life...just seem so personal and what you are all about. I love the simplicity of this recipe Rebecca and I bet that is why it appeals to your hubby. BTW, I have one of those husbands too....loving the baking smells but asking the ingredients before sampling as he is a super health nut. This may bring about a few tweaks to my recipes next year...I am thinking about becoming a 'nut' too...grin! Great little recipe here!
Now THAT looks tempt-a-lishous.
I am going to try this recipe in the spring. Until then, nose to the grindstone! Love ya.
That sounds wonderful and looks wonderful! I need to become a better baker, too!

Well done! I have come to believe that baking is all in your head - if you think you can do it, you can!!
