I DID IT!!! If I were a dancer, I'd be doing an ecstatic jiggity-jig. If I were a cheerleader, I'd be doing back-flips and sporting spirit fingers. If I were a monkey, I'd be waving my arms around and frantically pounding my chest. I'm not any of those things, but I think you get the idea... I'm just so dang thrilled with myself! And success has never tasted so sweet ;) Voila! my twist on chocolate muffin/brownies:
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- ½ c. brown sugar
- 1 banana, pureed
- ½ c. sweet potato puree
- ½ c. black beans, pureed
- 1 c. flour blend (white flour, wheat flour and wheat germ, 1:1:1 )
- ½ T. gluten (opt)
- 2 heaping T. cocoa powder
- 2 t. baking powder
- ½ t. baking soda
- ½ t. salt
- handful of Chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts (opt)
- In one bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips (and nuts) and toss. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Fold the dry into the wet, being careful not to over-mix.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
These can be made/served as muffins or brownies. They're full of fiber, protein, AND chocolate! Sinfully sinless. Go me! *B
McKay's favorite dessert is brownies, so we'll have to try this.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm definitely excited to try this one! Thanks.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to try them, I have to admit the black beans is throwing me off.
ReplyDeleteTell the truth Beth...does this really taste good or are you tricking yourself? If you say yes I may try it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this one! Question, do you just puree everything in a food processor?

Yes, I process my purees in either a food processor or my VitaMix. I cook the sweet potato first, though. But you can always use baby food! And when I puree beans, I rinse and drain them first. And with every puree, I add a little water until I get it to the right consistency... good luck! *B
