    yummy looking recipe

    as i am a vegetarian i dont use eggs
    would it be ok to use a banana as a binding agent?

    Applesauce or banana work to replace both eggs and oil. You can also use flax seeds mixed with some water to replace egg. I do this alot with muffins. If the consistency is not right on the batter, add a little bit of water to thin it out if needed. Actually when making anything chocolate, I add a little cold coffee to intensify the chocolate flavor.

    I made these, they are DELICIOUS. I made the following changes though:

    ~ Instead of oil, I used 4 tbsp of canned pumpkin (makes them moist, less sugar than apple sauce, and you can't taste the difference, I swear) = saves 350 calories from the batch

    ~ I only used 1/4 cup brown sugar = saves 120 calories

    ~ I added 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips = adds 140 calories

    Also, I baked them in cupcake tins. Made 8 cupcakes for only 75 calories each!

    so they are regular brownies, cut up very very small.....right?

    Because there are no reductions/substitutions in the ingredients, but 8x8 inch pan cut into 18 pieces, it's going to be tiny, huh?

    Yeah that's what I've wondering. They're going to be tiny (lol said the fattie) if they're going to be 18 pieces.

    Do you know what the nutritional value (calories fat and so on) is for these brownies. What is the serving size is 2 x 2 - 3 x 3.
    I see someone asked you about the serving size and you replied 2 brownies,
    If you can provide this I would great appreciated it.
    Thank you so much I am new to this website.

    Oh wow these turned out great! Thanks for the recipe OP.

    I used fat free yogurt instead of oil and over baked mine a tiny bit (still getting used to my halogen oven) and they turned out great. Cut mine into 8 pieces, came to 85 calories per slice! I just have to try and keep my hands off them.

    I bought measuring cups from Asda! Not sure how the cup sizes compare to American ones. But I use them with American recipes all the time and they work for me!

    I posted my ingredients above if you want measurements! They're all sifted weights (as I'm lazy and just sifted it in a bowl over my kitchen scales!).
