Best Healthy** Brownies Ever !!!!!!!! And super cheap to make!!!

Can you believe that these have no OIL, Butter or EGGS!!!!  Instead its packed with a ton of fiber and protein!!!!!  These are amazing and going to become my new baking staple.....Black Bean Brownies!! Like OMG right they are amazing!!!! Based on the bean content alone this one batch of brownies has at least 30g of protein and 30 g of fiber!!!  This is like the most genius thing ever!!!!!!! 

And as a FrugalNYCGirl ..it only cost me less than $.70 to make.  But for everyone else even without coupons you can probably make this for $1.50 which is ridiculously cheap for the fiber and protein alone!!!!

Here's the RECIPE for Cheap, Healthy Black Bean Brownies

Ingredients

1 Box Brownie Mix

1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

5/8 Cup Water or Old Coffee

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

16 oz cooked Black Beans

Directions:

Put all Dry Ingredients in mixing bowl.

And lightly stir/ mix dry ingredients.

Take Black Beans and liquid (coffee) and put in blender or food processor. **if using canned beans rinse well to get rid of salty taste of some canned beans.

Blend till smooth or to your desired consistency.  

Then mix all the wet and dry ingredients together.  And pour batter into oiled baking pan or foil lined pan.  Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes (for some reason this bakes really quick).  Test for readiness with toothpick.

 I used Foil because in the past I've had brownie batter be the worse kind for sticking so using foil.. I literally just pull the ends of the foil to transport the Brownie.  And it didn't stick, no mess and easy clean up.

I actually used a cake pan because I don't have a square brownie pan and it turned out great!

When you cut the ends to make a square you get four biscotti shaped brownies. Super cute for next day breakfast or afternoon tea presentation.

The rest I just cut up into 16 mini squares

Perfect for wrapping up in plastic wrap to bring for lunches or a quick powerful snack.  They really keep you full.  Even though there brownies, they really act like an expensive protein bar and you get a ton for such a low cost to make these.  Each small square packs at least 2 g's of protein and 2 g's of fiber.  If you check the wrappers of your other expensive snack bars you'd be shocked.

The texture I like for brownies is more cake-like than fudge so that's why I added the Whole Wheat Flour and  Baking Powder.  The Whole Wheat Flour robbed some of the chocolate flavor, but that was fine for me because I think my sweet tooth has really decreased its sugar tolerance.    This recipe is not going to produce those super high sugar fudgey brownies you get from lil debbies (which really no ONE really but kids can eat these days).  This recipe for me will be a staple because it lets me indulge a chocolate craving in a super healthy, low calorie, high protein and fiber way.  Not to mention it really FILLS you up and is super super frugal recipe !!!
