INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

  • Utilize eggs to prepare these banana bread brownies, and they will provide structure & help bind all the ingredients together. They will also provide a soft & tender texture.

RIPE BANANAS:

  • Include ripe bananas to provide natural sweetness & moisture to the brownies. They will also provide a delicious banana flavor and make the brownies soft. We would also utilize mashed pumpkin puree instead if required.

ZERO-POINT GRANULATED BAKING SWEETENER:

  • Add zero-point granulated baking sweetener to provide sweetness to the brownies without using regular sugar. We would also utilize another granulated baking sweetener instead if required.

FAT-FREE SOUR CREAM:

  • Utilize fat-free sour cream to prepare these brownies, and it will provide moisture & a soft texture. It will also provide a mild tangy taste to balance the sweetness of bananas. We would also utilize plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead if required.
