Cat Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So I posted about finding a great price on canned pumpkin. http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49325#entry413272 Momo and dogmom4 piped up with the possibility of trying something new they had read about... 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Brownies. The pumpkin I bought was a larger can, but I had a smaller can that would work with my brownie mix. So I tried it tonight. http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2013/08/2-ingredient-pumpkin-brownies-recipe.html I mixed it up with my hand so it was well mixed. It really felt odd not adding any eggs to it. I baked it for 30 minutes, and the toothpick test was clean, so I pulled it out and let it rest a bit. It is very flat, very dense... didn't really rise at all. Moist, but not "raw". I had the kids taste it without my telling them the ingredients. LilDD said it tasted "eggy", and I told her it had no eggs in it. When she knew it was pumpkin, she said that it was a kind of "veggie" taste, not unpleasant but not "chocolatey" like you expect a brownie to taste. It's not a true "brownie" taste. DS agreed that it wasn't bad, but just was kind of "off". They would eat it, but it's not a favorite. If I wanted brownies but had no eggs to add to the mix, it would work out just fine. Soooooo - there you have it! Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for testing it out Cat. Sounds like its a nice idea when you're in a pinch. Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 The other plus is that it adds veggies to a kid's diet, if you're trying to do that. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for the report. Thanks to your guinea pigs.... I do love simplicity in cooking! I might try it ....especially on a camping or other "no-electricity/gotta be simple" situation. MtRider Quote Link to comment
Cat Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hmmm, camping...? I wonder if these might be good slowly "baked" over the fire in patties in a skillet? There's nothing to spoil (like eggs or milk), so they might make nice little "cow pies"...? Quote Link to comment
Midnightmom Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Those six sisters (say that 3 times fast!) have a "dangerous" site!!! *warning................*warning..........................*warning Will Robertson!!! You will need to do this.... .... for 6 weeks after visiting there!!! Quote Link to comment
kyles mom Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I've made brownies with applesauce in place of the oil. I wonder how these would taste with an egg and the pumpkin? That might make them better? Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Doesn't the egg make them 'cake like'? Quote Link to comment
