Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Hello all! I'm new to this group (or any group for that matter!) Been lurking around for a couple of days and finally decided to make my presence known! I'm a 38 year old working mother of 1 from the mountains of North Carolina and have been going to WW since March. I have lost 17.5 lb. and would like to lose about 65 more. The weight is coming off slowly, but I'm learning some excellent habits in the meantime. My hubby is extremely supportive which is quite helpful but sometimes you need someone who has " been there, done that " for that little extra push to make it to goal. Anyway, I saw the recipe for the fudge cookies and thought I'd share a recipe I tried over the weekend.... 1.5 POINT BROWNIES 1 box reduced-fat chocolate cake mix 1 15-oz can pumpkin (plain pumpkin, not the pie filling) 1/2 c water Mix all ingredients together. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Cut into 24 pieces and enjoy! *Bonus: Counts towards a serving of vegetables!! **You may also sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup chopped nuts before baking. Then they become 2 point brownies. My whole family loved these! If you want a special treat, serve on a pretty plate with a dollop of FF Cool Whip and a drizzle of Hershey's Lite Syrup. Still only 1.5 points! I have several more recipes that I want to share but I must get back to work now! Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Maureen - when I make this recipe I add 1 cup of water and make 12 cupcakes. You really don't taste the pumpkin too much using chocolate cake mix. My kids love it when I use yellow cake mix... they taste just like little pumpkin pies!! You can use pumpkin in angel food cake mix also for a very light cake or muffins. I've used the angel food cake with pumpkin and poured into 0 point ice cream cones and baked them - my kids love those too!! ~~ ----- Original Message ----- > > 1.5 POINT BROWNIES> > 1 box reduced-fat chocolate cake mix> 1 15-oz can pumpkin (plain pumpkin, not the pie filling)> 1/2 c water> > Mix all ingredients together.
