Flourless Decadent Chocolate Brownies
The first time I tried chocolate black bean brownies I couldn't believe it! It was love at first taste. If you are a chocolate lover, you will love these brownies. The best part is that they are low in calories (only 130 per serving), gluten free, and low on the glycemic index. Suitable for the whole family and especially children with celiac disease or diabetes.
There are several similar recipes for bean brownies, I changed a couple of things: changed the oil to coconut oil, added peanut butter, changed the amount of sugar. Try a couple of recipes, until you find the winner. I hope you like them!
