"Gluten-free often makes desserts dry and brittle but this version is a lot more moist than the standard gluten-free brownie recipe."

A Note from Feedfeed
Dark, chocolatey brownies, the addition of bananas helps keep them moist and prevents them from drying out. These are made with black cocoa to give them their dark and mysterious appearance, but you can use regular cocoa if you have it on hand.
