    Here is a recipe I came across.. I have not tried it yet... Also googled black bean brownies.. I have heard wonderful things about then but have not gotten the chance to make them either :)

    Brownie

    I was searching Google for a low-calorie brownie recipe to satisfy my cravings yesterday, haha. The one that I found is really good, so I thought I would share! I used regular sugar. Using the MFP calculator, I calculated each brownie as 64 calories, 12 carbs, 1 fibre, 2 protein, 654 sodium, and 23 iron. However, the original recipe says that they are 100 calories, so take it as you will haha.

    Low-Calorie Brownies:

    3/4 cup: Low fat yogurt (Vanilla or plain work best)
    1/4 cup: Skimmed milk (or almond/soy)
    1/2 cup: Cocoa powder
    1/2 cup: Wholegrain rolled oats
    1/2 cup: Truvia (or any natural/stevia based sweetener that pours like sugar)
    1: Egg
    1 tsp: Baking powder
    Pinch of salt

    Pre-heat your oven to 200°C/400°F and grease a small baking tray (about 8in x 8in). Mix all of the ingredients together and then process or blend until smooth (unless you want whole oats in your brownie). Pour into your pan, and then bake for 20 minutes!
    When they're completely cool, slice them up. The calorie count is based on cutting them into 9 brownies.

    Original recipe here: http://www.thelondoner.me/2013/04/100-cal-chocofudge-brownies.html


    Thank you so much! :D

    Fiber One 90 calorie Brownies!!

    Those are an abomination and an affront to all the decent brownies out there.

    The reason you want brownies is because they are a pleasure trap.

    ETA at the top: How the HELL did we manage to crosspost at the exact same time with the exact same brownie pic? That's pretty amazing. Everyone, take two, they're small. :bigsmile:

    Change brownies to chocolate in general and you got me! I tend to just eat those Fiber One brownies. they're delicious and help me stay away. Well, unless mom brings me home a dark chocolate candy bar. Darn her! c:

    Have a brownie. Or heat up a Quest Cookie Dough protein bar in the microwave for 15 seconds. Yum!

    Firstly, you could totally have a brownie.

    Secondly, I was curious about this "black bean brownies" so I looked up a recipe. They actually sound great, even though I'm not a brownie person. My daughter would love them. They are also baked in a muffin tin, so already portion controlled. Here's a link:

    http://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-gluten-free-black-bean-brownies/


    And then (akin to looking up a word in the dictionary and then having to look up the words in the definition), I had to look up "flax eggs" - so here is that link, too:

    And here is a non-vegan version, which includes regular eggs and a nice touch with the black coffee:
