Healthy Snack Ideas

Black Bean Brownies:

A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe.

box of brownie mix
can of black beans
1/2 cup water

Instead of adding the oil and eggs to the brownies, only add the black beans (pureed with the beans and water in the can) and water to the mix and stir. If the consistency I believe it is about a cup. Then bake according to the package. For you adventuresome ones, this creates a healthier snack, and I must say, even my skeptical husband loved them

Pumpkin Muffins: my mother in law just did this one and they were fantastic.

Can of pumpkin puree
Box of chocolate cake mix.
1/2 cup of water

Mix together and place in muffin pans. Then bake according to directions on the back of the box. They are really good and not only will kick that chocolate craving but also will give you all the benefits of pumpkin, considered a super food, in this yummy dessert

only someone from Oaxaca would post this, and only someone who loves Oaxaca would think it's cool. :)
