Chocolate Black Bean Brownies
Reading Time: 2 minutes 
I’m not going to pretend like there wasn’t an ulterior motive when I started working on this recipe. I am thinking about my second book. It’s true. I can’t say writing a book is the most fun I’ve ever had in my life- but if I can do it, while planning a wedding and prepping my dad for cancer surgery, the second one should be a breeze.
Anyway- I can’t tell you the details as yet but what I can say is the overarching theme is to make recipes so flipidyflopps amazing that no one would know they were infused with stuff like- um- a lot of black beans.
Remember that amazing black bean pudding recipe I shared with you last Monday? That was merely a pit stop on it’s way to this one. I mixed in some flour, a few spices, baked it on up and HELLO BROWNIES!
The secret to the amazing body of flavour in these brownies was the instant coffee substitute I used- Dandy Blend of course. Also super awesome- the flour was a combo of buckwheat and black bean making this completely grain free.
These might just be in my current top of charts recipes and definitely worth trying!
