I found a recipe for brownies with bananas on Pinterest and modified it to a minimum-sugar recipe. The sugar comes from the chocolate chips, bananas and unsweetened applesauce.
To me, the product tasted great; however, I suspect that for people who are used to commercially available desserts and sweets, to appreciate these brownies will take some palate training. But believe me, every time you consume one of the store-bought high-sugar items, your pancreas screams :). Obesity and bad dietary habits might be the major reasons for the increased incidence of pancreatic cancer, and it has been projected that by 2030, the top cancer killers in the U.S. will be lung, pancreas and liver cancer.
Recipe
You will need:
4 ripe bananas (mashed), 4 oz (113 g) of unsweetened applesauce, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 eggs (lightly beaten), 1 cup whole-wheat flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips.
How to:
Preheat the oven to 350 F, and oil/spray an 8-inch square pan. Combine the mashed bananas, apple sauce, vanilla and eggs. Add flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda, stir well. Add chocolate chips, pour in the pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes.
