That's what I thought too! Whose the nut who put a Can of Black Beans with Brownie mix and WHAT in the world were they smoking when they did it!!!
After reading review after review of the super simple recipe I just had to try it... not a single person said they were gross, icky, or anything of the sort. Everyone was boasting fudgy consistency and I just couldn't believe it! With all the doubt in the world I went ahead and tried them... Bought the black beans and brownie mix and followed the few easy steps.... let them cool and they were ready to serve.
Now I must mention that I have a huge mental block when it comes to the consistency of food. There are foods that I WILL NOT touch simply because of the texture... so with that obvious flaw I took a bite of a brownie... Cautiously chewing and waiting for it to taste like a chocolate burrito or something like that. Well it didn't happen. They DO have a fudgy consistency and the flavor ain't bad either. I ate plain with no frosting and thought they were pretty good. In the future a little powdered sugar sprinkled on top would add a nice touch..
1-15 oz can of black beans
1 Brownie mix of choice
Open, strain, and rinse (well) black beans. Return beans to the can and fill with water. Blend until smooth and then mix with the dry contents of the brownie mix. DO NOT add eggs or oil. Bake according to box instructions. A 9x13 pan will yield 20 brownies at about 4 points each!!! Next time I make them I am going to cut each brownie into fourths for 'bite' size treats at 1 point each!
It's that simple... are you brave enough to try them?????
