Sophie in the Kitchen: Healthy Black Bean Brownies

My coworker's birthday was on Tuesday and I made her these Healthy Black Bean Brownies. It was a hit! What I love about these brownies is how moist, fudgey and chocolatey they are - you barely know the brownie is made with beans. My coworker has been demanding that I post the recipe for the brownies ASAP! Your welcome :) I am so glad she enjoyed the brownies and we had a great time celebrating her birthday by going to a Capitals hockey game - lets go Caps! Unfortunately the Caps lost by 1, but it was still a fun game to watch. I actually have made black bean brownies before but with a box mix if you are short on time. But I recommend this recipe instead because its even healthier since you know the exact ingredients. Enjoy these Healthy Black Bean Brownies!
