    These were really easy to make and absolutely delicious. A great way to use extra bananas and make a quick tasty treat.

    After reading the other comments I decided to use 150g sugar. They were done after 40 minutes and taste great!! No chocolate taste, but that doesn't matter. Awesome!! :D

    This is one of my all time favourite recipes - everyone at work loves them and I recently baked them for my boyfriend's family who also had nothing but praise. I agree the original recipe is super sweet - I cut the sugar down to 150g and I also mix the chopped chocolate into the wet mix with the bananas.

    I've used 30g of sugar and 30g of sweetener and the cake was very yummy. Can't imagine how sweet it has to be with 250g of sugar? I've also used the chocolate buttons instead of melted chocolate (milk chocolate ones instead of white ones by mistake :)

    ONLY USE HALF SUGAR if not less.I used 100g and it was perfect.Also less cooking time needed.Agree that its more like a cake than a brownie consistency but then again not a huge fan of that undercooked texture.needs a cuppa with it

    These came out perfectly, baked in a fan oven @ 170 deg C for 50 minutes. I'm always a bit wary with blondies/brownies as they never seem to pass the knife-in-the-middle cake test (at least not for me!), but they were completely cooked. I rested it in the tin for well over an hour (I went out!), and when I divided it into portions: perfect! I will definitely do again to use up ripe bananas.

    just to reiterate on how to tell when blondies/brownies are done - the cake test doesn't really apply here. I agree with this site (link below), however I'm not a professional so don't take this as gospel! http://www.slashfood.com/2006/09/17/how-to-tell-when-brownies-are-done/

    I made this to use up two over-ripe bananas and it is very sweet but delicious. I took heed of other reviewers and removed it after 35 minutes when the top was brown and risen. It cooled and sunk to a lovely gooey squidgy typical brownie texture, which I was pleased about because I didn't want to end up with a sponge pudding! I wasn't sure whether my husband and son would like it because of the bananas but they've just devoured two pieces each!!!

    Very easy to make and very tasty! Lovely and sticky and gooey. I used plain rather than self-raising flour, as I thought the self-raising odd for a blondie or brownie recipe - probably why some people have found the recipe a little cake-y. They are extremely sweet, but I rather like it that way. You could probably use less sugar or leave out the white choc if you find it a bit much. Also, I cut mine into 12 - I think 8 would be way too big considering the sweetness!

    Tasty when first cooked however the next day I found they had gone soggy even though I stored them in an airtight container. Nice but I wouldn't rush to make them again.

    tastes more like a really moist sort of banoffee cake, but it's delicious all the same. For more of a brownie texture one could perhaps use plain flour instead of self-raising. I separated the eggwhites and whisked them until firm and white. I added the eggwhites after all the other ingredients were added. I also only used 125 gr of sugar which is more then enough seeing that it also contains caramel and white chocolate. And I used confiture du lait from bonne maman. I did add some dollops on top but I feel they used sank into the mixture whilst baking, so I think its not really necessary to do this
