SO HOW'D IT GO?
I made this recipe using whole wheat flour instead of spelt, agave syrup instead of sugar, and enjoy life chocolate chips instead of nuts. I also used one mashed banana plus enough pureed beans to make 1 cup. I think they turned out good, but I agree that chocolate needs fat to taste good. So next time I make them I'll probably increase the amount of pureed beans.
I probably wouldn't make these again. I didn't use the optional raisins but would recommend them, it may have made them not as banana-ey.
