We added some whole-wheat flour to the dough, but it’s still extra flaky.
A topping made from oats and pecans adds nuttiness.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Change up the fruit with the seasonspeaches come summertime or apples in the fall.
Banana-Bread Brownies
We took two classic dessertsbanana bread and browniesand combined them into one sweet treat.
