Also, I very much appreciate the nutritional info included. Thanks!
I have tried numerous flour-free, black beans brownie recipes and this one is by far the best. yayyyyy!!!
I made these and they are so good. I can’t believe they are made with black beans. I used Stevia brown sugar so there was less sugar in mine. Kudos Giadzy for a quilt free satisfying bite!
