This morning I broke out my
Mr Bento
and, for lunch, filled it with left-over
Curried Ground Turkey and Potatoes, apple sauce and a brownie from
Pillsbury's Sugar-Free Brownie mix. As food photography goes this isn't a great picture, but it is what it is.
If you're wondering how I got a round brownie I used two
4" springform pans
and then put the rest of the batter in a loaf pan. I purchased the 4" pans mostly to use when cooking for my Mr Bento. In addition to the usual baked goods I've used them for meatloaf which fits nicely into the two larger containers in the Mr Bento.
. It made me want more! This week I decided to try to make some brownies from scratch. While browsing the web for sugar-free brownie recipes I stumbled across a couple of different recipes for Black Bean Brownies. The idea intrigued me so I made up my own recipe using Splenda instead of sugar. I think the recipe still needs some work, but it was good. It just needs to be a little more cohesive. I expect that if I'd made it with sugar, or even Splenda Sugar Blend
, it would have had more cohesion. Next time I make it I think I'll add another 1/4 cup of Splenda and another egg (to give it more of that cohesion). I hope. Recipe link for ec's Flourless (Black Bean) Brownies.
