A cold dreary day like today calls for Beanier Brownies! They are fabulously easy to make and great for people who want to cut down on dairy and boost their protein and fiber intake.
Get a mix that doesn’t include transfat, (many still do) and salt free beans.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Open the powdered brownie mix and put in a bowl.
- Open the can of beans and add water to the existing beans and liquid to the top of the can.
- Put the beans and water in a blender and puree.
- Add the bean puree to the powdered mix and stir. There is no need to add eggs, oil or anything but the beans.
- Grease a baking pan.
- Pour in the mixture and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Ready for the oven topped with bittersweet chocolate chips and pecans.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes; until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool then cut into squares. Bon haricot!
I fed these to my husband and kids and asked how they liked them and if they could guess the “secret” ingredient. They all liked the rich, chewy texture and no one guessed they had beans in them!
I'd love to hear from you!
