Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c Vegetable oil
2 Very ripe bananas
1/2 c Sugar
2 lg Eggs
1 c Whole-wheat flour
1/2 c Chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine cocoa, oil and bananas in a food processor or blender. Puree until
smooth. Combine sugar, eggs, flour and banana mixture in a mixing bowl.
Beat until blended, then stir in the nuts.

Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake for
15-20 minutes or until done. Toothpick inserted into center should come
out clean. (My suggestion - line baking pan with waxed paper and spray
with non-stick vegetable spray.) Cut into 2 1/4 inch squares when cool.

I'd suggest cutting into 48 squares, easier to eat and easier to fit into a
meal plan for a diabetic. 1/24 recipe fits within Am. Diabetes Assoc.
guideline of 1 tsp sugar per serving.
