For anyone interested in how Black Bean Brownies could even work, here's a few recipes

When I tried black bean brownies, I ended up with black bean pudding. It was alright... but it wasn't what I was hoping for by any measure.0 -

Curious. Are you suggesting I created a website, made up a recipe, and took pictures of the baking process and the finished product then got some blogger to put it on her website? Because otherwise this recipe does exist for purpose that certainly isn't screwing with MFP and may just be a tasty treat with a bit of healthy content to it.
Honestly. Some people's children.
No... I was just suggesting that you looked up the recipe for the purpose of inciting an uproarious debate of the use of cauliflower as a "healthy" alternative. As I have pointed out, this cupcake recipe is no different than any other cupcake recipe beyond the few additional nutrients created by combining a bland vegetable with a sweet fruit.
Ah. So you'd then suggest that any recipe using cauliflower is trolling? And I do believe I stated pretty plainly that this cupcake brings taste with a few additional nutrient (i even said similar concept to carrot cake in my second post) so I'm not sure where trolling or deception could come in. It's a cupcake...with extra fiber and vitamins.
Perhaps you'd like to take your derailing elsewhere.0 -

If you want a cupcake, eat a freakin' cupcake!
If you read the ingredients, it pretty much is an apple cupcake with cauliflower. It really isn't any healthier than carrot cake.
Exactly my point. But you gotta know somebody's gonna think this is wonderful, make up a few batches, scarf 'em down like it was Dr Oz-ified and then start a thread about why they aren't losing weight.
I'd be interested to see the nutritional profile of these. Being that they are made with 3 cups of flour and only 1 cup of cauliflower puree, they are probably not so nutritionally dense. The word cauliflower in the title seems a little deceptively wholesome.
I had originally assumed they'd be flourless, like a couple black bean brownie recipes I've tried, which had a good nutrient profile. I'm interested in trying out some sweet potato baked goods next, and maybe some chickpea based recipes. This is all for fun though, and because the nutrition facts on store bought baked goods make me want to faint in the store.0 -
I dislike using cauliflower as a sub for anything, but this is 1000 better than the woman who used dinner rolls with frosting as "cupcakes" for her daughter's birthday party. Not sure if that thread is still around in the MFP Past Files or if it got nuked.0

Aw, nuts! I hate it when recipes don't turn out right. Mine turned out nice and fudgy. They also had about 150 calories per brownie, which fit in perfectly as a dessert/snack for me.0 -
It's an April Fool isn't it? Please let it be-1

Yeah, I gotta say... I made a pretty awesome cauliflower crust pizza the other day. People can tell me I got trolled but I also got to eat a WHOLE pizza that day and stayed within my calories
This method works really well:

I like to use tortillas (corn or the low carb flour. I don't mind carbs but but less carbs=more calories for cheese). Personally but basically the same concept. I like my pizza to be about tasty toppings so a lower cal crust fits me just fine0 -

Fruit and vegetables are healthy however. Just because you don't know science doesn't mean it won't work. Low carb is not a thing when we add cauliflower.0 -

It is a freakin' cupcake. It has just as much sugar and flour as a regular cupcake. It just also has cauliflower puree mixed in. I assume to make it "healthy".0 -

Duh. That's why it says cupcake and not, say, smoothie or omelet.0 -

Well, mostly I want lots of cream cheese icing...and a TINY bit of carrot cake to act as an icing delivery system, if you will.0 -

I've had black bean brownies before - NASTY. I dont get the "healthy" baked goods....I'd rather never have brownies again than eat another black bean brownie. (Not saying that i never eat brownies - i do....but if I had to choose....Id never eat one again to avoid a "healthy" one).0
