How to Make High-Fiber, Gluten-Free Brownies

Don’t be afraid of the black beans in this recipe. You can’t taste them and they give a nutrition kick and fiber boost that you won’t find in regular brownies. Try topping them with fresh raspberries too.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. In a blender, puree the beans with the oil and water. Add the eggs, cocoa, Splenda Sugar Blend, coffee, and vanilla and blend well.

  3. Add the baking mix to blender and pulse until just incorporated. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan.

  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes

  5. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting and removing from the pan. Cut into 12 equal-sized brownies.

my dog loves it !!!

The brownies were very delicious. I couldn't stop eating them.
The one thing is that I did develop a lot of gaseous episodes.
Luckily I could blame our pit bull for the strong sulfurous odor. Oh, Jasper just farted again !

I need a good alternative to Splenda and Nutrasweet. Neither work well in our household. We don’t care for Stevia either. We do use agave to sweeten tea.

Not recommended

The brownies were very dense and packed flavor. Tasted like sweet beans.
No, I don’t recommend
