These are quite nice, healthy and very easy. The banana flavour is quite strong, and the baked brownies are a bit flat in taste. To tell the truth, I liked the raw dough better than the baked brownie, it's like a gooey, yummy banana-chocolate dip. I think I'll make it again and eat the whole thing raw :) Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2014
