Why bake Brownies with Black Beans?

I didn’t know this until recently, but beans are one of the most versatile ingredients. Maybe you use them in dips, salads, or soups… so why not bake desserts with black beans too?!

Beans are high in protein, low in fat, and full of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants.
