Banana Split Brownie Pie for when you need an extreme chocolate dessert.
You know the saying it’s as easy as pie?
That’s not always the case…keep reading to see why:-)
Today is March 14…as in 3.14…
the mathematical numbers for PI.
(it’s ok…I didn’t remember that either)
I can honestly say that math was not my strongest subject…
something about all those numbers makes my head spin.
But I do like PIE,
you know the kind with the E on the end.
So when Dorothy (who loves Math and is wearing a PI shirt today)
asked me to participate in a fun pie hop for PI day…
my answer was clearly a yes.
I started flipping through some old cookbooks,
because I don’t make pie very often.
This one was one that I have been wanting to make for a while.
Want to know a secret about my Pie?
Apparently I assume a lot when I am baking.
I saw brownies in the recipe and just went ahead
and made the full batch without reading further.
I finished up the rest of the recipe with a few modifications:-)
All seemed to be going well, until the next day when I cut a piece.
The center was very gooey and fudgey.
Now how did that happen when the Banana Split Brownie Pie was in the oven for 50 minutes???
I was bummed until I ate a piece…turns out my mistake tasted pretty good.
So I reread the directions and found out
that you only use part of the oil and water for the brownies.
I just figured it was the normal amount so I didn’t finish reading.
Yup, it was a User Error! I get a big fat FAIL!!!
Don’t worry I made sure to put the RIGHT ingredients in the recipe.
Yours will turn out better than mine, I’m sure.
Just make sure you READ all the directions thoroughly!!!
But we do like undercooked brownie recipes around here,
so there was no problem devouring this yummy pie.
Maybe I should take this holiday to brush up on my math and reading skills??
Now for the best part of this post…
You get to hop around and have even more PIE!!!
Make sure you stop at each one and leave them some “sweet” comments:-)

Oh my this looks good Jocelyn. Fudgy brownies, mmmmmm. And your pictures are so awesome!!
I wouldn’t mind a slightly undercooked brownie, either!! YUM!
That literally looks like the most amazing pie in the history of all pies. Trying this immediately!
I love oopsies that turn out well. And I’m with you, a little underbaked brownie isn’t a bad thing. This looks delish!
I LOVE PI DAY! I did a post about it too…but without the pie recipe. This one looks so good! I love that you used waffle cones for the crust! How do you come up with such great ideas?!?
I totally love undercooked brownies so the center of yours looks SO SUPER GOOD to me. This pie is awesome. Love it! Thanks so much for participating today Jocelyn!
When I saw the email that you were making this, I nearly fell off my chair. Banana split brownie pie?! I’m in heaven! And I’m LOVING that you used crushed waffle cones as the crust–pure amazingness right there!! But you know the worst part about this day? I have to go do a math test in about an hour… but then I’ll come home and stuff my face with the real, COOL pie!
Your pie looks amazing! I know what you mean about seeing the word BROWNIE:) I made a brownie pie too!
Ok. Now this pi thing can’t really happen unless we all get together to share our pies. This has me drooling! As for under cooked brownies, my brother made up some batter and poured it over ice cream instead of hot fudge. How’s that for you?
Oh my! That looks so good! I love a gooey brownie:) I really want to celebrate Pi Day today, but not many pies work with a low carb diet….boo! I do think I’m going to make chicken pot pie for dinner tonight though:)
This looks absolutely amazing!
The idea of putting brownies (my favorite) and cheesecake together and calling it a pie is genius. That fudgey brownie layer would be enough to send me into a chocolate coma!
Wow that looks amazing! I would love for you to link it up to my first link party. I know my readers would love it too! http://weliketolearnaswego.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-i-learned-wednesday-1.html

Oh.em.geeeeeee….you are bad for my diet woman!!!
Yeah…I’ve been guilty of not reading a recipe in its entirety until it’s too late. But your pie looks absolutely amazing anyway. Holy yum!
Oh my word–this looks sooooo delicious! I want a piece (or two) right now.
hollyyyy mollyyy..best pie i’ve seen all day
Your photos are AWESOME! This pie looks so incredible!!
I totally vote for under-done brownies – the batter is my favorite part. I love that this crust is made of waffle cones
Becca @ Crumbs and Chaos
oh boy, I think the chewy brownie sounds amazing!
even though this didn’t turn out 100% as you expected, it looks absolutely wonderful + delicious! per usual, your pictures look gorgeous as well!

Oh my, I have to laugh at myself now! I just made this recipe. I never read your blog post… just scrolled to the recipe & printed it out (after finding it on Pinterest) and when I read the portion of the recipe for the brownies – I just assumed the oil & water measurements you gave were for whatever box of brownie mix you had… so I used the full amount that my box said to.
And lo and behold… mine came out gooey too! I guess that’s what I get for not reading everything fully…. But, it was delicious!
This is so creative & looks absolutely AH-MAZING!

I loved your whole diatribe on pi; I hated math, and it made my father insane, as I think he did calculus for entertainment, using a slide rule. He used to say this about Pi, and specifically about the equation pronounced “pi-are-squared.” His response to that was always “Pie aren’t square. Pie are round. Cornbread are square.”
This looks awesome! I pinned it and plan to get the ingredients to make….Yummy!
