Caribbean Brownies image

Think of these when you have a couple of bananas that are over-ripe and you want chocolate, not banana bread. This recipe makes a dense, moist, rich brownie. Make 24 hours in advance so flavors can mellow, if possible. (That's if you can keep them from disappearing.) Many of us don't have macadamia nuts on hand so walnuts would work as well. If you don't normally frost your brownies leave out the chips and bake as usual. Adding the nuts to the batter is good, also, but put the batter in a bowl and fold nuts in. If you try adding them to the bater in the processor,the nuts will be ground too fine and disappear.

I made these brownies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out just as good as the original recipe!

These brownies are a great way to use up leftover coconut milk. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these brownies. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the chocolate perfectly.
