Black Bean Brownies

Need a chocolate fix? Don't want the guilt? I could give you many suggestions, but this is one of my favorites to share because black beans and chocolate are such an unlikely combination. However, the two ingredients pair very nicely together.

Black bean brownies are one of my 'go-to desserts', and this recipe is likely one of the easiest you will find on my blog. While I like to make everything from scratch, this recipe is so foolproof and delicious you'll be keeping recipe contents on-hand at all times. The texture is slightly different than regular brownies, but do not be afraid!

Try serving warm with low-fat vanilla frozen yogurt.    ...Are you ready for this?
