So, i tried this recipe and followed it exact, with one exception - I added a little bit of canola oil (Maybe 1/4 a cup) because I was afraid they would be really dry. For a 120 calorie, 2 grams of fat brownie, this was really good. It tasted more like chocolate banana bread, but overall GOOD! - 1/21/13

This was very good! I often play around with recipes to make them as healthy as possible, but this was already pretty good. Unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 the sugar (rapadura), dk cocoa, 1/2 zucchini & 1/2 yellow squash (I used squash I had frozen but drained excess liquid), some dk choc chips. Yummy! - 8/28/12

Very yummy! I shredded the zucchini in my food processor, which only has one setting. I thought it wouldn't be fine enough to mix smoothly, but it did. You cannot see or taste the zucchini. I think the taste would depend on the ripeness of the banana. Mine were very ripe, so sweet. Will make again! - 4/2/14

Good but not great. I used 1c whole wheat flour in place of one of the cups of white flour. I also reduced sugar to 3/4 c and added 18 pkts Splenda. Would try adding 24 pkts next time. 2 ww pts with adjustments. Can sprinkle on 6 T mini choc chips for an additional 1 pt per serving. - 11/18/12

Modified the recipe substituting Splenda for sugar and used unsweetened applesauce - came out pretty good, the consistency was not like "normal" brownies, it was more like dense cake or bread. It felt like something was missing, though... might try adding a handful of choc chips next time! - 8/4/09
