Bownies & Black Beans (:

hear ye hear ye Now I know this might sound strange. I actually wanted to gag when I heard it but they are delish. So you get fibre, no fat and all the moist goodness of brownies and if you love chocolate like me that's just wonderful.

So you use a box of your favourite brownie mix with a 15 oz can of black beans (pulverized in a blender just the contents of the can)

combine that with the brownie mix

bake as per instructions and voila you are not going to miss the oil and eggs I promise

Now using beans in a recipe from scratch make for an interesting experiment.

one love di june plum

You can also do this with a 15 oz. can of pumpkin. I haven't tried either, I'm just waiting for the 'hankering' to kick in (aka PMS).

I try to avoid chocolate/brownies, etc. when I can and save them for the 'must have' moments.

June, I tried it with the can of pumpkin. I LOVE it! The pumpkin made the 'cupcakes' very moist. They're kinda funny looking, kinda like somebody pooped in a cupcake liner, but they really are quite tasty!

I've saved them in a freezer bag and eat one when I need a chocolate fix. I'll let you know how the brownies + black beans turns out. You know I'ma try it!

Be blessed!
