Pumpkin Bean Brownies/Muffins (p1)
Preheat oven to 305 degrees

1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
4 lg eggs
1/2 cup splenda (this is what I used)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp butter extract
1/4 cup nonfat milk powder

process beans til liquefied, add remaining ingredients and process til smooth, 1-2 minutes. Pour into sprayed 8x8 pan (9x9 would work too but they wont be as thick) and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes.

Capecrusader also noted that she cut them into 16 pieces and has 2 a day. She said some people "make pancakes out of this mixture too, using pam in a frying pan, flip when bubbly, use sf syrup, etc" but states that she likes them best as brownies."(Note: I think they would be good made into muffins and so far they are the only thing made with beans that my Anti-Bean Daughter has actually liked...HA HA)


NOTE: I blended up some sweet maple butter for these and they were wonderful! I took some ICBINB (I cant believe its not butter), sf maple syrup, and some pumpkin pie spice and mixed til it was smooth. It was very yummy on these muffins.
