Comments by Bronwyn Ward: I made the brownies except with carrots. I wasn't very impressed right out of the oven so I trickled over a tablespoon of maple syrup and froze them. I have been defrosting them for the last few days and they are great!! Really fudgy!! Bonnie's comments: I baked them in cupcake tins, makes 18, bake for 18 minutes. Thought about adding Nutlettes or Grapenuts to simulate nuts but haven't tried that yet. If you don't have any mushy bananas run them through the food processor since it's already dirty.
