I used Splenda and egg beaters. These were really good and I like these more than applesauce brownies (better texture) but I think they could be a little more chocolaty as the banana flavor really came alive after baking so I will add more cocoa next time and less cooking time to make them fudgey and a little less cake like. But I will be making theses often, thanks for sharing!

These were good, but they tasted nothing like one would expect anything with "brownie" in the title to taste. That being said, the infusion of banana tastes was delicious; this is a wonderful idea. The consistency is more that of a cake than a brownie, as others have noted. I really enjoyed this treat. Thank you! (PS: I used Splenda instead of sugar and it came out delightful.)

For fat free, this makes an excellent brownie. I love the banana flavor. I also just used skim milk and a little vinegar, it came out great.
