Low-fat Harvest Pumpkin Brownies-Bean Food Storage Recipes

Posted by Crystal-Everyday Food Storage on Tuesday, October 6, 2009 · Comments

I got this recipe from a gal in my ward who is a FABULOUS cook. One of those ladies you know if it has their name on it that it will be delicious. Well she made this last year for a “Recipe Swap” and I’ve been waiting for a YEAR to share this with you. When I made it this year, I realized…hey….I could use beans in this AND whole wheat flour (not to mention powdered eggs!). And it was DELICIOUS. It turns it into some sort of food storage super dessert! The original recipe calls for cream cheese frosting but I topped it with a whipped topping with cinnamon and 1 t. vanilla. Yummmm…..the most delicious whipped topping you’ll EVER eat!

Harvest Pumpkin Brownies
1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin
4 eggs (1/4 C. dry egg powder + 1/2 C. water)
3/4 C. vegetable oil (or 3/4 C. white bean puree)
2 t. vanilla
2 C. whole wheat flour
2 C. sugar
1 T. pumpkin pie spice
2 t. ground cinnamon
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt

Mix wet ingredients (including the water needed for your powdered eggs but not the dry egg powder…remember you DON’T need to mix these before adding to your recipes) Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Pour into 9×13 pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool and frost with cream cheese frosting or dollup cinnamon whipped topping.

Crystal- I am unable to plain print your pumpkin brownie recipe. I have always been able to highlight the recipe and press print "selection" in my printer window. Now, nothing. So I signed up for the free membership with "all the same benefits as before", thinking that this would help, but no. Are your recipes now "view only" without a premium membership? Say it ain't so, Crystal! I love your recipes so much that I'll hand write them if I have to. Please tell me that this is just a glitch. I have your first cookbook and have the second on pre-order. You've made a huge difference in my pantry.

-Eagerly awaiting your reply,

Hi. Your site displays incorrectly in Firefox, but content excellent! Thanks for your wise words:)

I've seen you use pinto bean puree in past recipes. Is there a reason you used white beans in this recipe instead? Do they taste different? Is it because of the color? Texture? By the way, I have a pressure cooker and use it all the time. It is such a time saver and I always wonder why people don't use them more. Pressure cookers have come a long way! They are a lot safer and easier to use now. I really hope more people give them a try. Even the ones you use on the stovetop work great. You can find them at places like target and they are inexpensive. Now I wonder what I ever did without one.

I'm wondering that too... do you have a handy bean chart of which beans to use when? :-)

I am so getting an electric pressure cooker now! You are a great saleswoman! Do you love your specific cooker? Anything you don't like about it?

I made the pumpkin brownies and they were delicious! Even with only 1 1/2 c. sugar and no frosting! Thanks.

ummm WOW!!! :-) Guess what just went on my Christmas Wish List at Amazon??? :-) You gals are awesome! Thanks so much for posting this video. Who knew it could be so simple?

I made up a batch of these brownies last night. This was my first time using bean puree. The taste was great but I had to keep putting the pan back in the oven. They kept testing as done but when I would cut into them they were doughy. Had a great taste but wondered if anyone else had this problem or if its because of using 100% bean puree.

Thats a great video, though I prefer the stove top pressure cookers rather than the electric. Pressure cookers are really a gem in the kitchen. They reduce cooking time by 70% without sacrificing the nutrients and vitamins of the food being cooked. Contrary to popular belief, it is not that complicated to use. Just familiarize yourself with the basic instructions and you sure will appreciate the beauty of its functionality.
