Yummy baked, relatively healthy treats - similar to vita tops
Matta Chai Green Tea cake/baking mix - with white kidney beans, 1 cup of water and 1 egg...they're wonderful (the mix smells weird) and are about 100 calories each with protein and fiber from the beans. Use cupcake tins and the recipe makes 18.
Black Bean Brownies, use 1 brownie mix, 1 can of black beans, and 1 cup of water, similar stats or make them in mini muffin tins for a 40 calorie snack.
I've tried using pumpkin and the flavor is wonderful, but the texture is just chewy so I'll have to keep experimenting until I get it right.

I really want to try the brownies, can you taste the beans in them??
You can't taste the beans in either recipe. I've had numerous coworkers try the black bean brownies and they think they're better than the no pudge ones made with vanilla yogurt.
cant wait to try them!!! can i use any brand brownie mix?
They recommend the no pudge baking mix, but I've used ghiradelli's and others without any problems. They have a few more calories. To calculate the calories and nutritionals, make sure you add all the calories & stats from all the ingredients and then divide by the number of servings you end up making.
If you use the mini muffin tins, they usually come out to around 40 calories and they're the size of brownie bites.
I recommend spraying a light coating of cooking spray or using the silicone pans. When I use the paper tins, they tend to stick too much.
Do you have to mash up the beans or just put them in whole??
