Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I do this kind of thing too and have made brownies predominantly from beans. As you say, they make for moist results without all the fat. And, if you don't tell anyone, they won't know. -Erin http://www.vegandonelight.com http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have made a couple of your recipes more than once - I like especially your bean muffins, which (btw, everyone, listen up) have no flour at all in them. Of course, with my usual peculiar tastes, I sweeten mine with stevia, add a spoonful of carob powder and various spices to turn them from savoury to sweet. (I can feel Erin shuddering from here - sorry, Erin!) Good for munching on train journeys! Love and hugs, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Ooooh! If you have a good recipe already, send it this way. Or are you like me and simply throw in lots of beans? lol Thanks, Gina http://www.MommyNature.com ~ The Preschool Parent's Natural Resource ~ Erin <truepatriot Wednesday, December 5, 2007 6:33:50 AM Re: baking with beans I do this kind of thing too and have made brownies predominantly from beans.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I usually tell people what is in my baking, particularly if it is something unexpected. After all, someone with a bean allergy would normally consider brownies a " safe " food to eat and wouldn't ask you if they had beans in them. I don't always tell my family, because I know their safe/unsafe foods. And if it is really unusual but I don't want to give it away, I might also just say " you don't have any allergies, do you? " as I pass them out. Pam On Dec 5, 2007 5:33 AM, Erin <truepatriot wrote: I do this kind of thing too and have made brownies > predominantly from beans.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Gina, I'm like you in that respect and just let the creative juices flow. But with some extra effort to write everything down, I did manage to release a low-fat vegan ebook (which Pat mentioned in another post). Pat, Thank you. I'm so glad you are still making things from it, rather than it just being due to its newness. No cringing here; I encourage the kind of experimentation you do with the bean muffins (I have a couple sweet suggestions in that one's variations). Pam, I ask people about nut allergies, say when doing a cheeze, but didn't even think to ask about beans, unless it's soy. Guess you never know. I'm with you on revealing potential allergens. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , gina wrote: > > Ooooh! If you have a good recipe already, send it this way.
