and i’m wondering why i waited so long. seriously.
(if you have no idea what i’m talking about, there was this black bean brownie that became popular years ago. the brownie was made with all of the usual brownie ingredients, but with pureed beans in place of flour.)
combine a monster-size chocolate craving with a few extra cans of black beans and a free afternoon, and here’s what it gets you.
i’m almost certain you have all of these ingredients in your pantry. i dare you to try these and not like them. i cross my heart and pinky swear they taste nothing at all like black beans. they taste like a delightfully gooey, chocolatey, peanut butter mouthful of yum. best of all they are gluten-free, grain-free, cane sugar-free!
