I made these vegan brownies for Valentine’s and no one guessed the secret ingredient so I decided to post the recipe for your enjoyment.
They are super healthy and low in natural sugars. High in fiber and nutrients. You can feel good about eating them.
The secret ingredients is black beans! No one can tell. If you don’t believe me. Make them yourself. The name tripe B instead of black beans brownies is to help you disguise the secret ingredient. Have fun with this recipe.
