Guiltless Brownies
Yield: 24 servings
3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder 2 lg Eggs
1/4 c Vegetable oil 1 c Whole-wheat flour
2 Very ripe bananas 1/2 c Chopped nuts
1/2 c Sugar
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.
