So the name of these is pretty odd right? Black bean brownies? Are they savory or sweet? Well, my friends, these babies are SWEET! They are gfree and full of protein and healthy complex carbs. My kids (and Josh) have been gobbling them up so I will take that as a win! The texture is similar to soft fudge and they are surprisingly delicious. I highly recommend as both a gluten-free and healthier alternative to one of my favorite sweet treats!

I won't lie this is interesting but I would definitely try them!
Oh my gosh how neat! They look so rich, almost like fudge!!
I have to say the name sort of turns me off haha but the picture looks delicious! I prefer gooey fudgey brownies over cake-like ones any day! I just won't tell my husband what they are 🙂
Those look delish! So fudgey looking 🙂 they look like they'd go great with a cup of coffee!!
