Hungry Girl Brownie Cupcakes



Recommended Posts

Saw this on TV and thought I'd try them, they are 180 calories but a nice treat.

1 box of Devil food cake mix

1 can of pumpkin puree (not the pie mix)

mix it together and put in muffin cups, bake 400 for 20mins

these come out super moist (still eat it slowly :))

I top with a little lite cool whip, yummy treat

I have heard of that recipe but haven't had the nerve to try it yet. I might see if my kids will eat them. At least it will give them a little veggie in their dessert!

I have made these many times. Your right you don't even know there is pumpkin in them the pumpkin keeps them moist. I use the low sugar cake mix, add 2 eggs and and 1 cup of dark chocolate mini chips and bake them in the mini baking pans and they are 35 calories each. I am so glad I saw this tread as I might not have remembered them.

Here is something better:

Take a box of fat free brownie mix and one can of black Beans.

Put the Beans in the blender liqud and all and puree them.

mix them and the box of brownie mix and in a bowl and blend together. (don't put anything in the brownie mix but the beans)

bake as usual and cut into squares.

they are very high in Fiber and fat free.

Hmmm...black Beans and chocolate together??? Does that really taste good? Black beans are pretty flavorful

I would love to try, but alas... my chocolate addiction would not allow me to eat just one!

I made these and the pumpkin taste is insanely strong. i didn't even use the full amount of the recommended pumpkin.

it's tolerable, but i made a batch to take to work to share with co-workers, and i could never take them because i don't think folks would like them

I have tried the devil's food cake and pumpkin muffins and they are delicious! Even my husband loved them! :-) I think I'm going to try putting the chocolate chips in next time. I'll have to try the brownie recipe.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
