SO HOW'D IT GO?
I subbed 3/4 c. applesauce for the oil and banana to decrease the fat and eliminate the banana flavor. I also added some peanut butter and some water to bring it to the proper consistency.
Mine came out kind of squishy and rubbery. Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just entirely unexpected for brownies. Who would have thought you could make brownies in the microwave. Not what I expected, but still yummy and ever so easy!
If you don't want them to taste like banana, substitute 1/4 cup of pureed silken tofu for the banana. You can also replace the olive oil with a second 1/4 cup of pureed silken tofu. (For a total of 1/2 cup silken tofu instead of banana and oil). Make sure you spray or oil the dish you cook it in.
Decent recipe, I just hate banana-y brownies. :)
Wow, the brownie was super rich and dense. I accidentally substituted CINNAMON apple sauce for the oil and chocolate milk powder for the cocoa powder (since I didn't have any around). This recipe is dangerously seductive to chocoholics. ;)
hey this might sound stupid but i was just wondering what type of container you use to put in the microwave? like just a bowl or sumthing?
its rlly bad to put food in plastic containers in the microwave
the plastic can melt into your food and then get in2 ur immune system
this was moist and chocoalatey
but it was definately like eating a chocolate banana bread.
the banana was very strong!
I don't know about you, but these turned out really weird. First of all, the batter was extremely dry, so I added about 1/4 cup of water and it was still pretty thick. After cooking them in the microwave for 5 minutes, they tested really strange, more like over chocolately banana bread or a science experiment. Definetely won't be making them again.
OMG! these are not only the best vegan brownies i have ever had, these are the BEST brownies i have had in my entire life!!!! AND they are done in 4 minutes in the microwave!!!!! im amazed....i am in vegan heaven with happy little cows and chickens running all over the place ;D i added some soymilk (about 2 tablespoons) and used brown sugar and self rising flour (by accident) i really couldn't taste the banana at all and i forgot the chocolate chips, i have eaten a batch already, and i am planning on making a second one tonight, thank you so much for the awesome recipe!!!!!
bananas made it so much better, the idea of bananas in brownies sounded a bit sketchy, but they were amazing. try them frozen, ten times better. i also put nuts in them.
Yummy. :D I can't wait to try this recipe. I'm going to use applesauce instead of banana, and maybe no oil. Thanks.
(I should add I didn't add any chocolate to the pumpkin version.) :)
