Hungry Girl Brownie Cupcakes

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!

:) they are super moist and you don't even know there is pumpkin in it. They just might love them :)

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.

This sounds so yummy. When I can start eating solids i am definitely going to try this!

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.

I've made these too! Really yummy :)

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!

If you do like pumpkin.. you could also do the recipe with a box of spice cake mix and pumpkin puree.. YUMMY

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.

The recipe seems really easy, I'm going to have to try this tonight, thanks!
