Fiber Packed Black Bean Brownies

Brownies are hands down one of my favorite guiltiest pleasures, but sometimes a single serving can pack more than 300 calories! Yikes! So what's a healthier alternative to this irresistible indulgence? Try using black beans! Seriously, you cannot taste much of a difference at all. Black beans are not only high in fiber and folate, they are great for regulating your digestive system and blood sugar levels.

If you are a chocolate lover, but are trying to watch the scale, try making these figure friendly black bean brownies!
