To the reviewer on 2-11-12: You should not rate a recipe 3 out of 5 stars if you did not follow the recipe or the adjusted recipe as I mentioned below. It is not fair. 1-18-12: I followed the changes made by the submitter on July 1, 2009 on page 4 of these reviews. First, I did NOT change the flour or salt or vanilla. I used 2 eggs instead of one, 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar, 5 oz semi sweet and 1 oz bittersweet chips to equal 1 cup total to melt, 6 Tablespoons butter, about 4 inches of banana, then mash, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder mixed into the flour and salt mixture. Once batter was mixed I mixed in 1/2 cup toasted pecans and 1/2 cup semi sweet regular sized chips-NOT mini chips. If you use mini chips, they melt into the batter and the top won't be shiny. I can taste why these won a ribbon at the state fair!
