Unusual ingredient recipes?

Question

I'm looking for recipes for normal everyday items that have unusual ingredients. Like, I already have the fudge recipe that calls for Velveeta. I'm looking for more "unusual" ideas...

Answer 1

Black Bean Brownies

1 box brownie mix

1 can (15 oz) black beans

Open the can of black beans, rinse well. With beans back in the can, add enough water to cover beans. Put in blender or food processor and puree. Add puree to brownie mix, and then bake according to package directions.

You DO NOT add the eggs or oil that the recipe calls for, JUST the black bean puree!

Makes 20 brownies
