Dessert

These brownies were adapted from a recipzaar.com recipe for low calorie banana brownies. I enhanced the fiber and nutrients by using whole wheat flour (the cocoa eliminates any taste and color difference between this and the standard white flour!) and made the treats more glycemically-friendly (not too mention even lower in calories) than the first recipe, which added nearly 50 calories worth of refined sugar to every brownie! The use of banana and chocolate as the main flavoring elements masks any "chemical sweetness" taste (and I personally never experience this sensation anyway!) and the use of real sugar, chemically, did not contribute to the scientific baking process in the original recipe, so the substitutions are more than ideal! Of course, if you are one of those folks that will simply not use artificial sweeteners feel free to use one cup of sugar (or a 50:50 mixture of white and brown sugar) instead, just remember to add 50 calories to the nutrition facts! These brownies are very "cakelike" (my favorite kind!) and partner well with a smattering of strawberries and a glass of vanilla soymilk!
