These taste like little mini banana breads.

This is a tweaked recipe shared by a Spark friend. It is also my first Spark Recipe, so go easy on me. The nutritional info doesn't match exactly to what I have, but it's pretty close. These muffins are fantastic and I recommend you have plans to freeze or share them so you don't eat them all. Don't be afraid of the whole wheat flour. Due to the bananas these come out moist and delicious, not dry and compact.

This recipe makes about 24 mini muffins or 12 large ones. (It usually seems to make a little more, maybe 28 small ones or 13 large, etc.)

I was skeptical of a sweet recipe that called for black beans, even though there were rave reviews everywhere! It does work, though! Pureed beans are just the ticket to keeping these cakey brownies dark, moist, and fudgey and all without any trace of bean flavour.

These cookies are some of my favorites from childhood. They keep for ages, and are not too bad for you if you don't eat too many! You can add lots of other ingredients to change the flavor - the recipe is pretty much bulletproof. Try it with nuts, chocolate chips, craisins, cinnamon - the possibilities are endless! They also pack and ship beautifully. Yum!

Use your favorite frosting with maple in it to top them. I used the spiff y whip stuff again, and it's light. You could do a drizzled frosting and not add too many calories. I didn't add the frosting here so you could figure your own.

High Protein and Low Fat/ Low Sugar/ Low Carb!! Many natural and good for your body ingredients. Using a food processor allows textures to be blended to perfection.
This cookie contains a combination of protein and complex carbs so that it serves as an energy booster, satisfies sweet tooth and leaves you satisfied appetite wise which can last throughout the day!
No oils or fats added although one could substitute coconut oil (wonderful health benefits, non-absorbed by body) for yogurt. Found in regular supermarkets with other oils in baking section. However, it is a solid so it is in a jar or plastic container.
Carbmaster yogurt is low carb low sugar yogurt purchased from Kroger.
Soy flour is available in baking section of supermarkets. Lindt 85% cocoa chocolate Bar can actually be found in several places including Rite Aid and other drug stores in candy row. There are other brands also, This happens to be a great one with only 5 grams of carbs in 4 squares! Protein Isolate powder is available from any health food store and also Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target carry in sections near vitamins. Isolate is more finely ground than regular protein powder, making it an excellent substitute for white flour.
