Preheat oven to 350. Put ONE CUP BLACK BEANS, rinsed and drained, 2 TBSP LIGHT OLIVE OIL, 1/2 c THAWED AND SQUEEZED DRY FROZEN SPINACH, 1/4 C APPLESAUCE, 2 EGGS, 1 EGG YOLK, 3/4 C SUGAR, 3 TBSP UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER and 1 1/2 TBSP INSTANT ESPRESSO POWDER (I use cocoa in place of this) in a food processor, pulse for one minute until smooth.
Microwave 3 OZ CHOPPED BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE (I use dark choc chips) and 2 TBSP BUTTER in a glass bowl, stirring every 30 seconds or until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.
Add above chocolate mixture, 2 TSP PURE VANILLA EXTRACT, and 1/2 TSP SALT to processor. Pulse to blend.
Transfer to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 C FLOUR and 1/3 C (or more) DARK CHOC CHIPS. Pour into an oiled 9x13 inch pan. Can top with 1/3 C CHOPPED PECANS (I don't use). Bake 25-30 min. Cool for 15 min.

Watermelon Pops
Puree 1/4-1/2 of a watermelon (seeds and all)
Strain it through a sieve over a bowl to get all the liquid out...it takes a few minutes, and you may have to stir it to get all the juice. Discard solids.
Squeeze one whole large lemon into the watermelon juice
Add sugar (optional) to taste...I added a tablespoon
Freeze into pops.
I'm thinking this would also be good with a lime! Completely FAT FREE...and watermelon is a natural diuretic!

1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c peeled, finely grated zucchini
1 c (or more for chocolate lovers) semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c chopped pecans, optional
Spray or line muffin tins (about 24). Preheat oven to 325
In medium bowl, blend flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Stir together milk and vinegar in small bowl and set aside
in large bowl, beat butter, oil and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy
Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. Add milk mixture and beat well

Banana Treats
Bananas (peels on)
Sprinklings of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips,
peanut butter chips, mini marshmallows and peanut butter.
Heat oven to 400. Cut a slit in each banana (going through the peel and into the center). Have your child tuck any combination of goodies into the banana. Close the banana and wrap tightly with foil. Blake on a cookie sheet, approx 20 minutes. Let cool and scoop out the insides or let them eat right out of the peel.
