First Challenge: Black Bean Brownies
I have seen a ton of recipes lately for black bean brownies. For example, here’s what I found on Minimalist Baker, Imma Eat That, and Chocolate Covered Katie. At first blush, black bean brownies sounded incredibly weird to me: who pairs black beans with chocolate? Well, I decided to try this recipe from Meal Makeover Moms’ Kitchen, mainly because it used very little oil. I made a few adjustments to their recipe:
The Verdict: Delicious!
I loved the banana taste to these brownies. I have to admit that they don’t taste like conventional brownies because they are not quite as “cakey.” But they are incredibly fluffy, light, and low in sugar! My brownies were also a bit soft in the middle, so the middle pieces were a bit difficult to take out of the pan to eat. Nothing that a fork and plate can’t solve. I intended to make these as a dessert, but I ate one this morning for breakfast (oops). They were screaming for me. Give these brownies a try, and let me know what you think!
