Before I even start explaining I know what your thinking..... "Black Bean Brownies?? Really?😟 can't you taste them??"
The answer to that is no. Not at all. 👌
all you taste is pure awesomeness because the beans act as somewhat of a backdrop for the whole recipe in general!
Although you can't taste the black beans in the batter it holds it all together while still delivering all the benefits black beans have! 😊
Including:
I would say these are some super brownies, and they taste even better which is more bonus points for this recpie

I've seen a lot of people on instagram and other blogs make their versions of black bean brownies....... and they just look awful👎👎 hahaha 😂😂
They look dry, small, thin and unappealing hahah
I wanted to make a brownie like I had when I was a kid!!
Fudgy in the middle a little crisp on the outside where the batter touches the baking pan, and of course it had to be thick like a real old school brownie😍😍 ....... I'm telling you.... perfection.👌
And I had to play with the batter for a little before I got the perfect consistency, thickness, taste, yumminess, chocolate factor, and that all desirable 🍫fudgyness🍫 I was searching for.

I would say I'm somewhat of a simple guy.......
nahhhh.
I'll take that one back haha😂
I have pretty high standards, and I'm a bit picky haha 😁
But ☝️ being picky just means you know what you want,
And when it comes to the classics......you can never go wrong.
Thats why I decided walnuts and chocolate chips had to be used inside the batter and on top. 🍫🌰🍫🌰🍫🌰

The best part about theses black squares of magic 🌟✨💫✨🌟💫besides the taste, health benefits, and just pure yum???.....
I made the batter and recipe for them so that as you keep them in the fridge they will only get better..... trust me..... these things for some reason taste better and better days after you make them🙊.
I wanted to include pumpkin 🎃🎃🎃 in them because I've experimented with it in other recipes in the past and as the pumpkin cools in the fridge overnight the magical protein brownie🍫👼🍫 fairies come and sprinkle deliciousness all over them hahaha
but seriously... they get denser and sweeter as you keep them haha😂😂
