    I substituted Splenda for the white sugar and doubled the amount of cocoa, (based on others' feedback.) These brownies had a very interesting, almost bouncy, texture. The flavor was very good. The bananas' flavor definitely stood out and the cocoa was more of a subtle, supporting flavor. - 7/28/09

    I certainly agree with the comments about how it's not sweet or chocolatey enough. For me it was too spongy to qualify as a brownie but will make them agian perhaps leaving or adding much more chocolate. - 7/8/10

    I substituted unsweetened apple sauce for the oil, and regular oatmeal for the instant (because it was all I had in the house), and whole wheat flour for the all-purpose. These were absolutely delicious, and really healthy too! I'm definitely making these again. I bet they'd be amazing frozen. - 10/28/07
