  • Smoothies. ½ bagel.

I’ve never heard of black bean brownies, but I have had pinto bean pie, and it tasted exactly like pecan pie. Hope the brownies turn out well!!

I love black beans, and I love brownies but I have never heard of them together. You must share how they taste. Is it really a brownie?

Also do you make your own granola bars?

The black bean brownies are great! I made them a while ago to try them out and even my son loved them.
