      Title: GUILTLESS BROWNIES
  Categories: Low-cal, Cookies
       Yield: 24 Servings
  
       3 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
     1/4 c  Vegetable oil
       2    Very ripe bananas
     1/2 c  Sugar
       2 lg Eggs
       1 c  Whole-wheat flour
     1/2 c  Chopped nuts
  
   Preheat oven to 350 F.
   
   Combine cocoa, oil and bananas in a food processor or blender. Puree
   until smooth.  Combine sugar, eggs, flour and banana mixture in a
   mixing bowl. Beat until blended, then stir in the nuts.
   
   Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake
   for 15-20 minutes or until done. Toothpick inserted into center
   should come out clean. (My suggestion - line baking pan with waxed
   paper and spray with non-stick vegetable spray.)  Cut into 2 1/4 inch
   squares when cool.

   I'd suggest cutting into 48 squares, easier to eat and easier to fit
   into a meal plan for a diabetic.  1/24 recipe fits within Am.
   Diabetes Assoc. guideline of 1 tsp sugar per serving.
