so i tried to make diet soda brownies. i just mixed a can of diet coke and 1pkg of duncan hines chewy fudge brownie mix and i baked according to packaging and extended cook time as recipes call for. the knife came out clean and they where beginning to become too crisp so i pulled em out. to my dismay when they cooled and after i cut them and pulled one out the bottom was somewhat gummy like and flabby. wtf

    Hm.... Doesn't sound good. Maybe you have to do a lower temp for longer??

    Was the flavor good and resemble a brownie??

    I saw this one too- might try this sometime (from HungryGirl.com):

    Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix + Diet Cream Soda = Perfect (& PRETTY!) Party Cake

    PER SERVING (1/12th of cake): 180 calories, 3.5 fat, 306mg sodium, 36g carbs, <1g fiber, 23g sugars, 1g protein -- POINTS® value 4*

    Cake mix and diet soda? Awesome. Pretty colors? Also awesome. Fat-slashed cake with beautiful dots of color? SIGN US UP! Stir together a can of diet cream soda with a box of Funfetti cake mix. Don't add ANY of the other stuff the box tells you to add... Just the soda. Then simply bake according to package instructions, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Hooray for gorgeous guilt-free cake!

    it tasted pretty good. next time i will do a lower temp for about 1 1/2hrs. the first time i did 350 degrees for about 1hr. im going to reduce to 325 for 1hr 45min. and use diet dr pepper or diet cherry coke.

    have you tried No Fudge Pudge Brownies? Its just the powder mix + nonfat vanilla yogurt. Its delicious and 2pts per square :)

    I don't know about you all, I would just eat one small brownie, count it and make sure u eat good the rest of the day.

    I think the diet cola thing works better with chocolate cake mix....although it wouldn't be fudgy like a brownie. There is a thread on here for Black Bean brownies that supposedly taste a lot better than they sound and do come out with a typical brownie consistency. I know, I know, they sound gross, but everyone that's tried them on MFP raves about them! In fact I have heard about this recipe from someone at work that's on Weight Watchers.... If you just do a search on the message boards you can find it. Hopefully you'll have better luck next time :)

    I made the diet brownies also, only I added one egg white. They were delicious!!!! I did not put the whole can of diet coke in, but probably only about 3/4ths and baked as directed on the box. I honestly could NOT tell the difference.
