I love brownies.
I could eat them everyday, but I don't.
You may not know this about me, but I'm a bit of a health nut.
Some relatives have even gone so far as to call me a hippie. The nerve! :)

Anyhoo, I do not believe in depriving myself the little things that bring me joy.
And chocolate brings me joy.
So what's a chocolate lovin' gal supposed to do?
I started searching for a healthy alternative and decided to try baking brownies with black beans.

This was a new concept for me and I did not know what to expect.
Well, it's a thumbs up for me.
I found the recipe over at Tammy's Recipes.
I baked my second batch already and tweaked the recipe to better fit my needs and tastes.
That's how I am. I can never leave it as is. There's always room for improvement!

well, what a great reason to eat brownies - they have beans in them. what else could you ask for??! yummy. i will definitely try these - i think i might have some beans in the cabinet - off to see. my friend you have made my day.
a hippie - i have been called much worse names than that. personally i think hippies are free, well relaxed, happy & such fun to be around. there are much worse things you could be. ha. ha!!
enjoy those brownies. ( :
