SO HOW'D IT GO?
Food Lion brand chocolate chips are vegan!
This recipe is a godsend!
This has definetly become a staple in my diet, and I wish I would have never stumbled upon it. I subbed the white flour for whole-wheat, the oil for applesauce, and cut out just a little bit of the sugar, and used Gharadelli chocolate chips. My batter is always very dry so I just add some chocolate soymilk and it works great. They have a very strong banana flavor if you use the whole one so if that isn't your thing I would just use half. They also get more of that brownie texture if you let them sit out a few hours.
Had a serious chocolate craving last night and not much time so these really fit the bill. Amazingly quick and easy and made alot IMO. Cooked them in a pyrex pie plate and it was just the right size. I did sub applesauce for the banana and added some coffee powder. They seemed to taste even better this morning. If I had more time I may have used one of the other brownie recipes but for a quick fix this recipe is great!
Ok, I'm officially addicted to this recipe. I make it like, every night. It's making me fat.
Thanks to the inventor of this magical dessert.
Just what my family needed! We save bananas in the freezer, but I'll bet our stock goes down quite a bit because of this winner. They were easy, tasty, and just as good the next day. Thanks! :)>>>
I just now made these. I wasn't as impressed as some others. These were just ok. It was more of a banana desert rather than brownies. The only chocolate I taste is the choc. chips. I added some lowfat soy milk to thin it out. The consistency is brownie-like, though. My husband thought it was alright, but not great. I probably won't make this again, but we will eat what I made tonight.
Woah. This is WAY too good for something so easy and on-the-fly. I subbed the banana with applesauce, peanut oil for the fat, and added a few splashes of almond milk to thin it out, and it turned out swell. Agreed the chocolate chips sorta' make it, and definitely stick with a small dish or they end up flat and chewy, but they're great! Peanut butter would be an awesome addition... next time!
I thought these were awful...tough and bland. Might be cause it was in a thing dish and it over cooked?
ok i tried this,sceptically, and it's delicious! i had time to make them between the time my boyfriend called me to say he was leaving from the office and the time he got home! ( it's walking distance...) i'm totally amazed. they were still good the next day, but harder. it does taste like banana a lot, but i thought it added something. will definitely zap this recipe again!
