{Black Bean} Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Adapted from: Skinny Taste

You will never believe that these brownies are made with black beans! I baked these last night for a wonderful wine & paint party a la Lisa Jordan and waited until half of them were gone before I revealed my healthy secret. All the ladies were wondering how they were so dense and moist - no one would believe that black beans were the secret ingredient. Just like the diet soda cake, you can choose any brownie mix of your choice to bake your favorite, guilt-free brownies!

Ingredients:

• 19.8 oz box dark chocolate fudge brownie mix
• 15 oz can black beans

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Drain black beans and rinse well. Put beans back in the can and fill the rest with water. In blender or food processor, pulse black beans and water until smooth.

Mix pureed beans with brownie package mix (no eggs, oil, etc.).

Coat baking dish with cooking spray. Bake brownies according to package directions.

Yield: 20 brownies
