Caramelized Roasted Banana Swirled Brownies with Peanut Butter Sweet Cream Frosting
Rich, moist banana brownies topped with a fluffy Peanut Butter Sweet Cream Frosting.
Ingredients
For the Banana Swirled Brownies:
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 box brownie mix 9x13 size, I used Pillsbury
For the Peanut Butter Frosting:
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 2 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
For the Banana Brownies:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice bananas into ½ inch slices and place into a medium baking dish. Top evenly with butter pieces and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized (golden). Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Mix with cream cheese and sugar until combined.
- Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. Line a 7x11 inch baking dish (makes for a thicker brownie with this size of dish), with tin foil that’s been sprayed with cooking spray. Pour brownie batter into the prepared dish. Drop banana cream mixture by the spoonfuls evenly over brownie batter. Gently run a knife through the banana and brownie mix, in a swirling motion, without scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent tearing in the foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from the middle of brownies. Let cool completely, then pull out of the pan with foil edges.
For the Peanut Butter Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Slowly add in powdered sugar until well combined and desired consistency. You can add a bit more if desired. Spread over cooled brownies and cut into squares. Enjoy!
