Can you substitute bananas for oil in brownies?

If you want to use bananas as a substitute for oil in brownies, you will need to use ripe bananas that are soft and easily mashed. You can use a ratio of 1:1, so for every cup of oil called for in the recipe, use one cup of mashed bananas instead.

How do you store brownies with fruit?

Store brownies at room temperature wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container or a cake carrier.

Is it better to leave brownies out or in a fridge?

Brownies don't need to be refrigerated, but they will last longer if they are. Unless your brownies include more perishable ingredients like fresh fruit or cream cheese frosting, they'll be fine at room temperature as long as they're stored in an airtight container

Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and texture in your brownies.
Mash the bananas well with a fork or potato masher to create a smooth consistency.
Use a combination of brown and white sugar to give your brownies a rich, caramel-like flavor.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor.
Use a high-quality cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor.
Mix the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution.

Don't overmix the batter as it can make the brownies tough.
Use a non-stick baking pan or line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Bake the brownies in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.

Dust the brownies with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a decorative touch.
Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
Use a combination of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate for a balanced flavor.

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Freeze the brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
