    I used sour cream instead of greek yogurt, and these were as good if not better than the real vitatops. Everything else I kept the same. Haven't looked to see how extra fat in sour cream affects nutrition, but will definitely make these again. MUCH cheaper than the real thing! Thanks so much! - 11/4/10

    I just recently came back to Sparkpeople and saw your response to my recipe. I'm so glad that you liked it! I originally made them for a friend who loved vitatops and I wanted to see if I could replicate them for her. I'm so happy to have positive feedback, thanks!

    These are incredible.....a must have for chocolate lovers. I used 1/2 cup sugar free apple sauce instead of banana and 1/4 cup truvia instead of molasses. I also used oat flour in place of whole wheat and had to bake an additional 10 minutes. I made these changes because they were what I had. - 6/26/13

    Subbing the Greek yogurt is a great idea. Not sure if the molasses was necessary. I didn't use the bananna because I'm not a fan, but they were moist regardless. Added more sugar; they were kind of bland. Haven't tried real VitaTops to be able to compare, but they have the potential to be great! - 8/23/10
