4 Ingredient Easy Black Bean Brownies

 


You Will Need: 

  • Box of Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix Family Size for 13" x 9" pan size  (NOTE: you will not follow the directions on the brownie mix)
  • 1 can black beans (drained) 
  • 1 can of water (use the can you took the beans out of)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided in 1/2, use half for the batter mixture and half on top 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease a 13 x 9 inch pan. Pour brownie mix into a large bowl, open can of black beans and drain, place black beans in Nutri Bullet blender cup, fill empty black bean can with water, and pour into the Nutri Bullet blender cup with the black beans, blend for about 20 seconds, shake the Nutri-Bullet blending cup, then blend again for an additional 20 seconds or so until it's liquified. Pour into bowl and combine with brownie mix, mix until liquid is absorbed, then stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Pour into the pan, top with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 

Cook 38-40 minutes or until the sides of brownies start to pull away from the edges. 
Cool, cut into squares and store in the refrigerator. 

Special Note: 
These brownies don't have a typical brownie texture.....think of them as a chocolate decadent dessert instead of a brownie. These have a creamy rich texture with great flavor.... to me they are part pudding cake texture and part chewy fudge brownie. A plus is that they are more filling than a regular brownie, because of the protein in the black beans, and another plus is they have more nutrition because of the black beans too...and I did not taste the black beans in these at all. I will definitely be making these again.

Enjoy!
