Guiltless Brownies from Healthy Diabetic Recipes

Guiltless Brownies Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup Vegetable oil
2 Very ripe bananas
1/2 cup Sugar
2 large Eggs
1 cup Whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup Chopped nuts

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Combine cocoa, oil and bananas in a food processor or blender. Puree
until smooth. Combine sugar, eggs, flour and banana mixture in a
mixing bowl. Beat until blended, then stir in the nuts.

Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake
for 15-20 minutes or until done. Toothpick inserted into center
should come out clean. (My suggestion - line baking pan with waxed
paper and spray with non-stick vegetable spray.) Cut into 2 1/4 inch
squares when cool.

into a meal plan for a diabetic. 1/24 recipe fits within Am.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
