4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup very ripe banana, mashed (about 2 large)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup very ripe banana, mashed
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup soymilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon arrowroot

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or very lightly grease with oil.
TO MAKE THE BROWNIE BATTER: Melt the chocolate by placing in a pan or heat-proof mixing bowl over a small pot of boiling water.
Stir with a heatproof spatula until completely melted, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mashed banana, the oil, and the sugar. Use a handheld mixer to beat everything together for about a minute. If you don't have a mixer, use a strong fork and mix for about 3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla and melted chocolate.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add this to the banana mixture in batches, mixing with the hand mixer as you go along. Mix for about 1 minute more.
PREPARE THE BANANA TOPPING: In a small bowl, combine all topping ingredients and mix with the hand mixer (remember to rinse the beaters off first) for about a minute.
TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE THE BROWNIES: Spread the brownie batter evenly into baking pan. Pour the banana topping over that and spread evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
After about 15 minutes, move it to the fridge until fully cooled.
Cut into twelve squares, place a few slices of banana on top of each portion, and serve.
