Black Bean Brownies

Robert just made this recipe and the boys love them!!! If it passes the "kid" test, then you know they are yummy!!

Black Bean Brownies

Basically, instead of adding eggs and oil to the mix as directed on the box, you food-process a can of black beans (unseasoned, of course) and 1/4 cup of water. Add the mix and bake according to the directions on the box, and voilà! You have delicious chewy brownies—now with more fiber than fat.

• 1 15-oz. can unseasoned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 package brownie mix (12 to 14 oz.—we recommend a healthy one with whole-grain ingredients)

Puree beans and water in food processor or blender. Add beans to brownie mix, and bake according to package instructions. Do not add any other ingredients. Serves 16.

Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus baking time
