I love these. Bryan has loved them as well. I think that he eats more of mine than I do!

Kim's wonderful brownies

Wow these are good! We made them yesterday and they were gone so fast! The boys kept saying 'oh these are so good' as they enjoyed.

1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c agave syrup
1/2 c flour
1/2 c egg whites (about 4)
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder

Mix all above ingredients in food processor (I used my blender, and had to just stir a little with a fork at the end) til smooth.

Then add
6 TB mini semisweet chocolate chips--stir them in

Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish and preheat oven to 350. Bake about 20 - 25 minutes til toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 1 hour til room temperature so the frosting won't melt away. (I put ours in the freezer for a little while)

Frosting
6 oz fat free cream cheese
1/4 c agave syrup
2 TB vanilla
Stir these together and spread on cooled brownies. The orig recipe says cut into 12. I cut them into 20 squares and 25 would have been a fine size too.

Melt 2 TB Mini Choc chips and drizzle them on top. Or--we tried grated orange zest on part of it. Both were so good!

These are definitely good enough to take somewhere to share. The cream cheese topping is soft and kind of pudding consistency so you can't stack them on a plate cause they will goo on each other. They are so yummy!

And they are lots different nutritionally than the ones we have all made and loved for years.
Have fun!

The whole pan of brownies has 29 points (including the frosting). 1-2 points for each brownie depending on how they are cut.

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Another one without the picture but I thought it would be helpful to have this recipe before thanksgiving and when we eat it at Thanksgiving I'll try to get a picture.

1 point per serving 8 points whole pie
[don't eat the whole pie, I'm told you don't want to experience that :-)]
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 12 oz can evaporated skim milk
3/4 cup egg substitute or 3 egg whites
1/2 t. salt
3 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. vanilla
2/3 c. splenda ( or another sugar substitute you like)
combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into a 9 inch sprayed pie pan bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then 325 degrees for 45 minutes. If you eat two servings that is two points and a serving of fruits and veggies.

*1 t. pumpkin pie spice = 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. ground ginger, 1/8 t. ground allspice or ground cloves, 1/8 t. ground nutmeg.

Pumpkin Brownies

Okay let's start with a disclaimer it's hard to get a good picture of brownies. I didn't create this recipe we heard about it in our WW meeting and it can be found on the WW site. Enough said now on to the good part, the recipe.

PUMPKIN BROWNIES
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 can 100% pure pumpkin (I think it was 15 oz) not pumpkin pie filling.

Mix together, it will be thick, just keep at it. Spread in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cut into 20 pieces. My kids had no idea there was pumpkin in them.

2 points per brownie
