    I think I'll try these this weekend - I bought too many bananas this week anyway!

    Blakgarnet - I'm gonna use whole wheat flower, and am pretty sure it will work just fine. I recommend using whole wheat PASTRY flour cause it is definitely fluffier. I'm also gonna substitute applesauce for the oil!

    Sounds good, thanks for the recipe!

    48 brownies out of a 13x9x2 pan? That's a small portion size. Each brownie would be barely bigger than 2"x1". I have a feeling I'd be eating 102 calorie brownies with this recipe! :laugh: But even 102 calories isn't so bad for a special treat!

    Wow thanks for the recipe. We have brownie night every Wed. at my house. That will really come in handy for me. Now I can eat brownies instead of watching everyone else enjoying while I am drooling. :happy:

    Just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly... you're supposed to get 4 dozen (48 brownies) from a 13 x 9 inch pan? They must be TINY! :noway:

    LOL- I didn't make this recipe-- just found it. Sorry about the size of the brownies... I didn't even think about that.

    I'm thinking they must be literally bite-sized... about the size of a marshmellow. No wonder they only have 51 calories :laugh:

    12 brownies on the 13" side, 4 brownies on the 9" side. They're about 2"x1" each. As I said in my earlier post, I'd be having 102 calorie brownies. :wink: But they do seem delicious and I'm sure I'll be trying them.

    Hello Brownie lovers....or I should really say hi chocolate banana bread fans. :laugh:

    I made these brownies almost exactly like the recipe called for. The only thing I changed was I substituted a 1/4 cup of melted Smart Balance Butter Blend in place of the oil.

    Anyway, they turned out good. I wouldn't say they are excellent, but moist and a good balance of chocolate and banana. I do have the recipe saved under 'stephcheers' if you want to search them that way. I did my own calculations using the Sparkpeople site. I calculated the recipe to have 24 bars and that is a very reasonable size for the 9x13 cookie sheet I baked them in.

    I came up with 95 calories per brownie and 1g of fat.

    If you have bananas browning on your counter like I did....this is a great change from the ordinary banana bread.

    I'm glad someone was able to come up with calories for the reasonable size brownie! I still don't think 95 calories for a brownie is too bad. I'm glad they were good; sorry they weren't excellent. I think I"m going to try to make them tomorrow or Saturday- but I am going to make them with your recipe!! Thanks again for the follow up!! :smile:
