Absolutely scrumptious! My stepdaughter shared these with her high school friends and everyone was shocked they're gluten free! I changed the ratio of flours a bit to add more cocoa powder and used almond meal instead of hazelnut. I also used Heath Bar bits instead of chocolate chips -- amazing. Finally, I frosted with the vanilla buttercream frosting recipe from Sprinkles (available on this site). Now I am going to try to adapt the recipe to have raspberries in it as well!

This turned out so awesome. My son and husband also loved it. I added walnuts, used 3 bananas, raw cacao, and less sugar - feels nutritious and so yummy and tender!
