I didn't add oil, but used more peanut butter and bananas. I also used chocolate cookie crumbs instead of the chocolate chips and cocoa. I think cookies made with the amounts listed in the same pan size as the recipe specifies must be very thin. I used a 7x11 pan instead.

These were easy to mix up and my guys liked them. I used the maple syrup instead of the white sugar and next time I will use the sugar since I think the maple over powered the banana. I could taste the maple and peanut butter but not the banana. My guys commented on the peanut butter and my son particularly liked that. These have a pretty reasonable fat content too and I cut this pan size into 24 pieces and then you get more than 1 to make up the 8-12 servings on which the nutritional content for this recipe is based. I will make these again. Thanks for posting!

recipe wasn't very clear, i wasn't sure what to do with the oil since no amounts of oil were specified, so i added 1/4 cup, then when mixing dry and liquids together i add 1/4 cup soy milk because it was really crumbly. they taste good but they are still extreamly crumbly, you have to eat them with a spoon
