Fiber Packed Black Bean Brownies

Brownies are hands down one of my favorite guiltiest pleasures, but sometimes a single serving can pack more than 300 calories! Yikes! So, what’s a healthier alternative to this irresistible indulgence? Try using black beans! Seriously, you cannot taste much of a difference at all. Black beans are not only high in fiber and folate- they are great for regulating your digestive system and blood sugar levels! If you are a chocolate lover, but trying to watch the scale, then try making these figure friendly black bean brownies: . Ingredients:

• 1 (15oz.)  can of black beans (rinsed & drained)
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
• ½ cup raw honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 pinch salt

. Directions:

1. Puree rinsed & drained black beans in a food processor until smooth.
2. Mix puree with the eggs & oil, then adding the remaining ingredients of cocoa, oil, honey, vanilla, salt, & chips.
3. Pour into a greased 8×8 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
4. Brownies are complete when a knife comes out clean when poked in the middle of the pan.
