After yoga this morning, my wife and I were shopping in Aldi when I saw the brownie mixes, which reminded me of the recipe, so I threw the box into our cart.
Once we got home, I decided to make them then and there. I started with two very basic ingredients - a 15oz can of black beans and the box of brownie mix:
Since Aldi didn't have the low-sodium (or sodium-free) black beans, I first drained and rinsed the beans:
Once drained, I added them and half a can of water to the Ninja and pureed the heck out of 'em:
...then added the puree to the dry mix...
But how did it taste at this point? A taste test was in order:
Then into the 350-degree oven they went for 30 minutes:
And after an appropriate amount of cooling (5-10 minutes), the verdict was in: "It tastes like the trampoline-y top of chocolate pudding!" I just don't have the heart to tell them what the secret ingredient was...
Give it a try and let me know how they go over at your house!
Here's the original post I got the idea from: http://greenlitebites.com/2012/07/05/the-black-bean-brownie-trick/
