Healthy chocolate brownies!

A deviously deceptive way to sneak veggies into anyone's diet, including your own.
I got this idea from iVillage, I tried it and it works! Still chock-full of sugar, but it reduces the guilt of a wonderful treat.

So, take 1 package of brownie mix. Any brand, I used Ina Paarman's mix. Empty contents into a bowl. Now, here's the weird secret. DON'T ADD ANY OF THE REQUIRED WET INGREDIENTS. No eggs, milk, oil, butter, nothing. Instead add 1-1.5 cups of... wait for it... PUREED PUMPKIN. I kid you not. Just cook your pumpkin, smash it up with a fork, (or a blender if you must make more washing up for yourself) and add as much as you need to make a batter of a good consistency. Then bake as directed.

The result is just delicious chocolate brownies - no pumpkin taste at all, I promise.
Now go try it out on your kids.
