I used white whole wheat flour and mini chocolate chips in mine. I also over baked them just a tad. Oops! They were still pretty good, but not as good as the banana bread recipe from the PPK website. I think if I make these again, I'll probably sub applesauce for the oil as well.

By far, these are my favorite vegan brownies to date. As long as they're not overbaked, you end up with a nice, dense, chocolately brownie. Topped with a mint chocolate frosting, you have vegan brownie heaven. =)

I'm a big mint fan and these weren't minty enough for me, but that's easily fixed by upping the peppermint extract. Mine turned out a little dry, but I did use white whole wheat flour so next time I'll up the liquid just a bit along with upping the mintiness. =) I did chuckle when the instructions said to bake until golden brown... they're chocolate cookies. lol

Oh, and I rolled mine into balls and flattened with the palm of my hand. Balls were a little over an inch before flattened and I got 2 1/2 dozen.

The flavor is decent but the baking time was completely off. I've tried this recipe twice now. The first time, I made two regular size loaves and they came out underbaked and gummy. I had leftover pumpkin from a recipe earlier this week so decided to try again in case the first one was a fluke. I made four smaller loaves, started checking them at 30 min as instructed and finally took them out at around 45 min when the knife finally came out clean, then left them in the pan for the recommended 20 min... they still weren't done. With some tweaking, this could be good I think - maybe made as muffins instead of loaves? I'm not sure I'll be trying a third time though. There are too many recipes out there that work well the first time.
