pumpkin

I use Apple Sauce instead of eggs in things like cake. So I would think it would work for Brownies also.

I replace the oil in cakes, brownies, etc. for applesauce all the time.
Works great! I still put the eggs though. (I use the break-free kind)

I've used a can of cherry pie filling as a substitution for cake mixes and it's delicious. For brownies, I've used all bran cereal and made muffins. It does change the consistency but they are really good. If you do a google search for all bran brownies several sites list the ingredient amounts.

use cherry pie filling for the oil and eggs ?? hmmm .. never heard that one b4

Yes you can. I've used both apple sauce and canned pumpkin in place of the oil in brownies. Not the eggs though. Have to have something to keep it stuck together so to speak..plus it adds protein. And we can all use protein. Maybe you could replace the yolk with an extra egg white?

I would put apple sauce in place of the oil and add only one egg so they will have the brownie texture not cake.

Here are some other recipe ideas:

1 box brownie mix
1 can of black beans

you first puree the black beans, then beat them into the mix
spray a 13X9 pan, and spread the mixture into the pan
then follow the rest of the box instructions!

1-devils food cake mix
1-can 15oz packed pumpkin

Directions
Mix the two ingredients together.
Don't add anything else
The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother.
DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING!
Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Makes 15 regular or 36 mini muffins.

or you can use spiced cake mix or gingerbread mix

1 package Betty Crocker low fat brownie mix
3 cups Kellogg's All Bran
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pour the water over the All Bran and let it soak up for about 5 minutes in a small bowl.
In a large bowl stir together brownie mix, All Bran, and baking powder. Mix well until mixture is moist.
Place paper cupcake liners in a muffin pan.
Fill up each of the twelve cupcake liners to the very top.

Pumpkin Mousse

2 Small pkgs sugar free vanilla pudding or butterscotch -- I used one of each
3 cups Skim Milk
1 can Pumpkin 14 ounce
1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
1 cup Fat Free Cool Whip

Beat pudding, milk, pumpkin and spice with a whisk. Fold in Cool Whip. Refrigerate for an hour minimum. This is so good!!
(Keeps about 3-4 days in the fridge).

I have also do cake mix and 12 oz of seltzer water or diet soda. For frosting I do fat free cool whip, 2 box of sugar free pudding mix and two cups of skim milk. mix all together.

Enjoy!
