Vegan Gluten Free Brownies

Submitted by MassMaiden

"I tried this recipe from Susan O'Brien's "The Gluten Free Vegan" The banana flavor overpowered the chocolate and they were spongy not chewy. So I am still working on adjusting this recipe. I posted it to see the nutritional information and am open to suggestions for improvement."
