Cupcakes!

I took this recipe from the blog dealstomeals.blogspot.com I think it is delicious, and will use it for all my cupcake needs. (Even though my cupcake snob friend thought it was a little too dry. She has yet to share a better recipe.) It is a little bit more dense than a regular cupcake. I think it is more like a muffin consistency...hmm cupcakes for breakfast! 1 cake mix 1 small instant pudding 4 egg whites 2/3 c sour cream 1 can beans (drained) 3/4 c water Puree beans and water. Add all other ingredients. Spoon into cupcake tins and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. 24 cupcakes For the nutritional data I used a german chocolate pillsbury mix, a Jello sugar-free fat free chocolate pudding, non fat sourcream, and pinto beans.

Healthy Banana Cookies

3 ripe bananas
2 C oats
1 C dehydrated apples (I used cannery ones)
1/3 C applesauce
1 t vanilla
1 t cinnamon

Preheat oven 350. In mixer, mash bananas. Stir in oats, apples, applesauce, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix well, and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. I used parchment and it stuck. I didn't use a pancake turner to get them off. Just peel them off. Bake for 20 minutes. Makes 36.

The original recipe called for dates instead of apples, and oil instead of applesauce and I added the cinnamon. We all think they are pretty good. All the boyz wanted more!

Nutritional per cookie: 32.5 calories, .4 g fat, 7.1 g carbs, .7 g protein. Not too bad! Curbs the sweet tooth I thought I didn't have!

Black Bean Brownies

So I tried this recipe today:

1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
6 egg whites
3 T applesauce
4 T cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
2 t vanilla
3/4 C sugar

Mix in blender. Pour into greased 8x8. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
Next time I would add more cocoa and maybe more vanilla. The batter tasted good. Brownie, you could taste the bean a bit. I put cool whip on them. Out of 6 kids, 5 downed them, 1 thought it tasted strange. But he still ate 2 of them.
