i made these for my son who we just found out is allergic to dairy, eggs and peanuts. he loved them--but my other son {who has no allergies} seemed to love them even more! i was so happy to find a snack they could both eat and enjoy together! thanks!
if the water, oil and baking powder mixture replaces eggs, then try 1 tblsp ground flax see and 3 tblsp warm water and let sit for about 5 minutes that replaces one egg. flax is also very healthy for you too.

Well I am allergic to wheat, egg, and dairy I found this to be not a bad recipe. I substitute the flour with buckwheat flour and for the butter I used coconut oil because I don't believe in the margarine. I also substituted the brown sugar, with sucanat, the only difference is I used less baking time, instead of 20 Mins I found 15 min to be just right.
Like the other comment, we also replace egg with 1 Tbl flax and 3 Tbl water in recipes, but too much flax does a number on little tummies. Choc/banana combo is our fave.
Yummy! These are wonderful! I did not have enough bananas so I used applesauce to finish it and they are wonderfully moist and delicious.
