We, too, are no fans of food waste. Recently, we had some super ripe bananas leftover, as well as zucchini whose expiration date was imminent. Thus, we had the perfect excuse to do some baking. Plus, we did not have any dessert on hand (OMG!) and had a major craving for something laden with chocolatey, fudgy goodness.

Fun fact: Pumpkin puree can be used as a substitute for butter, oil, or eggs in vegan baking. ¼ cup of pumpkin puree equates to one egg. For oil, the ratio is 1-to-1, e.g., 1 cup pumpkin puree for 1 cup oil. Amazing, right?
