These are the best brownies that I tried in my life. And I have eaten many brownies throughout my life. Although brownies do not have a reputation for being a healthy dessert, this one is … or is the healthiest that can be one. With very little flour and almost no oil. But you will ask, then what does this have?? Well, the main ingredient are black beans. No, do not be scared, you will not feel the taste or the texture of these, these brownies will simply remind you of the brwonies that your mother does, or your grandmother. In addition to that, it has a super creamy and delicious ganache. It is difficult to eat only one portion haha
If you love brownies almost as much as me (more is impossible) you should look at this recipe Super duper sweet potato brownie

Can we sawp peanut butter. Not really a fan, but these look so good. Maybe I’ll recreate with tahini?
Ah with tahini sounds really good Kerry! Although a whole cup of tahini may is be too much haha. If you have so much tahini you can try it, I recommend adding more sweetener! If you make it with tahini tell me how it turns out pleas! I’d love know
Can i replace the melted chocolate in brownie?
You can add more cocoa powder and a little more peanut butter
How to use the black beans, raw?? What else can I substitute them for.
No! Cooked beans…and you can use chickpeas too, although you will not feel the flavor or texture of black beans, I recommend you try them with these
