Remember when black bean brownies were all the rage?

Maybe that’s a teeny exaggeration… my friends still thought they were weird.

Flourless Pinto Bean Brownies are where it’s at.  These cocoa-laced treats are flourless, fudge-y, and delicious!  They are also low sugar and can be made vegan with flax eggs.

I know, I know… putting pinto beans in brownies sounds weird. I SWEAR you can’t taste them.  Both Vegas and my baby sister ate them and didn’t detect a trace of bean… and they know I usually try to sneak something healthy into their food.

Flourless chocolate treats are some of my favorites.  Not because I’m scared of flour, but because I love that creamy, decadent texture.  The beans in these brownies only make the texture that much better.

Plus, you get to sing that song about beans that we all know and love. Beans, beans, musical fruit…

I’m a big fan of the rich dark chocolate that cocoa powder gives baked goods.  That combined with a hint of peanut butter makes these basically my ideal dessert.  Add a few chocolate chips and I’ve reached dessert nirvana.

Oh, and they’re sugar-free.  This hardly even counts as a dessert… so you should just go ahead and pair it with red wine.  😉

I was going to have these for Thanksgiving… but they’re gone.  Oops.

Do you sneak veggies into your family’s meals?

Have you ever made bean brownies?
