    OK. Made this.
    Luckily I only made half a batch. Sorry to rain on anybody's parade but it doesn't taste very good, which is how I judge treats. I'd much rather have 51 calories worth of a LOT OF OTHER THINGS than one of these rubbery, not-sweet, not-tasty brown-colored items. Even if it had zero calories I would not want to eat it.
    Very sad. I offered one to my husband and daughter. I left the room. When I came back in 1 minute later I asked if they were liking it. I then noticed that neither still had them. My daughter fessed up that she threw it away and my husband threw it out the window!! I will be trying mine for dessert. I hope that I will like it. Sort of doubtful, but hoping do the best. Fingers crossed.

    just as i would have suspected.
    for some reason, many people on this site think that throwing old bananas into anything will make it low-cal and delicious.
    there are recipes on here for 20cal cookies, which is basically mashed banana and pb mixed and baked. um no.
    there's a recipe for low cal banana pancakes...mashed banana and eggs...that's it. um no.

    i'll stick to working a real brownie into my calorie allowance.

    thank you guys for the honest reviews.

    Unfortunately, I think I'd eat the whole pan. :blushing:

    I'm getting flashbacks to the banana 'cookie' debacle where they ended up in the bin (and me with a cross boyfriend who seemed to think I had tried to poison him). I'll see if some more reviews come in before giving this a go and will stick to my faithful chocolate banana icecream instead.

    I have a heavily modified version of this recipe cooling on my counter right now. After reading reviews of sweetness issues, I added 1/4 tsp of pure maple syrup to sweeten it up, and used semi sweet chocolate chips. Hoping those helped.


    **My modifications**

    3 (small) smashed bananas
    1 tablespoon *roughly* Almond Butter
    1/2 Tsp Natural Vanilla Extract
    **mixed those together really well**
    1/3 Cup Almond Meal/Flour
    1/4 Cup cocoa powder
    1/4 tsp pure maple syrup
    1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
    1/2 cup diced walnuts...

    greased pan with coconut oil and baked at 350 for about 20 minutes until the toothpick came clean. It smells fabulous, but they're still cooling so I can't say for certain how it turned out.

    For the record, my modified recipe was fabulous. The texture was a little rubbery and I maybe next time will add a few more chocolate chips.... but it was pretty darn tasty and killed that craving. Thanks!
