Choc Bottom Banana Squares...again, but....

Phew...what a week! The contracts have finally closed, but of course there are still others queueing! And the Milkadeal cakes' redemption is also coming to a close on 31.3.2011! That means I have more time to explore other recipes....I hope! So far April looks like a breather, even though orders have started to come in...and I have those classes to conduct.....sending chills to my bones...but we'll do it together successfully ya! I'll put up the schedules either this weekend or early next week!

In the mean time...I had to settle for this....there were very ripe bananas in my fridge, and considering my schedule, this is a super quick snack that you can prepare, in a jiffy! I promise you! So, here's the recipe again...to save you from flipping the pages of my old post.....

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter about 113g, I used Tatura salted

1 cup sugar, I reduced to 3/4 cup

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

 1 1/2 cups mashed banana (about 6 ripe Pisang Emas or 3 medium Pisang Berangan)

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt, I added

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 cup choc chips

Method

1.In a mixing bowl, crfeam butter and sugar...this time I creamed using my hands, decided to forgo the electric beater, mixer. Add egg, vanilla, bananas, mix well.

2.In a separate bowl combine flour, soda, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add this to the creamed mixture, and mix well.

3.Divide batter into two eaqual portions, add cocoa powder to one portion of the batter.

4.Using a 9x9x2 inches baking tin, spread the cocoa portion on the base. Top off with the vanilla mix. Sprinkle choc chips.

5.Bake at 170C for about 30 mins.

The house will smell of bananas..definitely!  

I took some to the office, and they loved them...and so do my family! Give this a shot, and have a brilliant weekend you alls!xox
