Magic Black Bean Brownies


Magic brownies have been a favorite Weight Watchers recipe for many health conscious brownie lovers. The "magic" ingredient is pureed black beans to add fiber and protein. There are so many variations of this recipe. I opted to go for a quick and easy version that can be made with only a few ingredients on hand.

Magic Black Bean Brownies Recipe

1 (15 oz.) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 t. cinnamon
1 box brownie mix (my favorite is Betty Crocker Ultimate Fudge)
1 banana or 1/4 c. applesauce (optional to add moistness)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor, puree black beans with cinnamon, and banana or applesauce until smooth.
Transfer to mixing bowl, and combine with brownie mix. Stir by hand until shiny and mostly lump-free. Pour batter into a greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Brownies will be rich, moist, and fudgy. Cool before cutting.
bon appétit

Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Bake

Image
This recipe is one of my husband's favorite recipes.  It is hearty and full of flavor. UPDATE: I recently made this recipe using a can of cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic instead of just plain cream of mushroom soup. The roasted garlic in the cream of mushroom soup added such a delicious element to the sausage and pasta. I HIGHLY recommend doing this! However, if you don't have the roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup, regular cream of mushroom soup will work fine. Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Bake Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 box penne pasta, cooked and drained 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 1/2 cups 2% milk 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup (I prefer cream of    mushroom soup that has roasted garlic for enhanced flavors) 1 1/2 cups french fried onions 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I prefer colby jack with this recipe) 2 cups frozen peas Salt and pepper to taste  DIRECTIONS Cook pasta accordin...
