Wondering if this is OK. I don't keep vegetable oil in the house because I never use it for anything but I wanted to try the bean brownie recipe. Pre-South Beach I would have replaced the oil with applesauce, but since we're not supposed to have fruit on Phase 1 I don't know if this is an acceptable substitution. Could I use olive oil instead?

Thanks!

Just use olive oil. You are right: no fruit on Phase I.

I use olive oil for everything that calls for oil with good results. I usually don't have any other type of oils in the house, either.

Thanks! Mmmmmm...brownies with black beans and olive oil...sounds so yummy...Maybe I'll throw some garlic in there?

I'm kidding of course. I can't wait to try the recipe!

we use olive oil or cannola oil only..

how did the bean brownies come out? i made mock cornbread once in phase 1 with great northern beans... it was ok.

I didn't get around to them tonight but I'm going to try for it tomorrow. Whipped up some Black Cherry Jell-O instead. Somehow, a week of Phase 1 has tricked me into thinking that two tablespoons of fat free Cool-Whip is decadent! Guess this plan really works!!!

Yeah, on the Cool Whip container it even says it's approved for Phases 1, 2, and 3!
