NOTE: I think you can play with the ingredients and tweek it as you like :happy:
If you add unsweetened cocoa powder it will make a great moist brownie.
You can leave out the beans and just add more zucchini or crushed pineapple. etc etc

I froze them, I use one square, heat it up in the micro, top with a few frozen banana slices and 1/3 of the individual cups of Skinny Cow Ice cream.
I do the same with brownies...keep them and bananas frozen for a very satisfying treat.

Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

    I came across the cake mix at Walmart ...it is sugar free so I figured if I used half the box I already had the base of a low cal cake.

    Being that it is "Golden Cake Mix" it is kind of neutral to add a variety of flavors...

    I will make the other half of the box with the cocoa & a table spoon of instant coffe and turn it into a brownie :love:
