Black beans in brownies... crazy? We think not. We made some of the best black bean brownies we've ever tasted! Deceptively delicious. Watch the video recipe for all the ingredients and directions, and we also listed out a short version in the steps below. We hope you enjoy! We cut the sugar big time by substituting some sweet ripened bananas, so you can definitely give yourself 'brownie' points for baking a healthy dessert. Bake 'em for only 30-35 minutes and they will be incredibly gooey. Subscribe for more craft tutorials and recipes or follow us on our Instagram.
