First I know what you are thinking…eww! I thought the same thing but decided to give them a try. SURPRISE! They were actually good! My picky 4-year-old who won’t touch a bean ate them and had no idea. Since then I’ve made them a few times. Each time I share them with friends. After they are done I tell them they were made with black beans and they are shocked! It’s a healthier option than tradition brownies. I won’t say they are healthy because they are still brownies, but they are healthier. There are two things that I really like about this recipe. 1. It’s gluten-free, grain-free and dairy free! 2. You throw all the ingredients in a blend, easy as that! Now go give a try, see if your family notices the difference!
