Low Fat Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies

Here is the brownie recipe!  I will add my notes in red.  These don't make a fudgy, melt-in-your mouth brownie (need the butter for that!), but they are a delicious, moist, cake-like brownie that will satisfy your sweet tooth!

1 1/3 cup water
2/3 cup + 2T bean puree (white or black) I used 2/3 cup only since I didn't want to open another freezer bag of puree and I freeze them in 2/3 cup increments.
1 1/2 T white vinegar
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 Tbs salt
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat your oven to 350F.  Combine wet ingredients and mix.  Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the wet ingredients.  Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake 27-35 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.  Mine took 32 minutes.  Top with icing directly out of oven.

Peanut Butter Icing
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 T creamy peanut butter
2 T milk (1 tsp noninstant cannery milk plus 2 Tbs water - 2 tsp if using instant dry milk)

Mix dry ingredients then add water and peanut butter.
