Black Bean Brownies

Coming off my high of Valentine’s Chocolate Week, I wanted to finish up with this protein filled healthier version of a brownie. Now, I am sure half of you who are reading this have tried to bake a black bean brownie in one form or the other. They are great, yes? Well this version of mine is a mix of a handful of recipes I have tried sprinkled in with some of my culinary tricks of the trade.

As I type this I am craving one. Even Mr. Giggles who is a chocolate aficionado gave me the stamp of approval to “feel free to make these again.” And that says a lot! They are gooey, fudgy, chocolatey and the best part is you can enjoy them without all the guilt of eating one of those giant brownies you typically see or even make. Plus they are the easiest things to make. Literally, you throw everything in a food processor-puree away-and then stir in the chocolate chips, pour into a pan and bake! Um, what? The recipe is both easy and delicious? YES!
