Best Low Fat Brownies Ever

This is seriously the best brownie recipe ever. The fact that they are low fat is just a bonus. Only ingredients...

1 can of black beans
1 package low fat brownie mix
About half the package of dark chocolate chips.

That's it. No eggs. No oil. And if you want you can omit the chocolate chips, but I think they add a lot of yumminess for not too much calories or fat.

So all you do, open can of beans. Plug your nose because black beans seriously stink. Rinse beans. Put in blender, with 1 cup of water. Blend a while, until it's liquid and smooth. Add to brownie mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake according to directions on brownie box.

I've mixed them up a bit by adding coconut and walnuts on top. Or making cheesecake brownies with Nufactel (or however you spell that cream cheese, that's 1/3 the fat or whatever).

Honestly you have to try it to believe it. I never dreamed they would taste so good, be so chewy and they are packed with protein and fiber. Awesome! Obviously not a health food, but much better than some other dessert options.

  1. Sounds interesting, I'd definitely try it!

    Also try using a can of pumpkin puree. Brownie mix and pumpkin, that's it.

    And if you are ever making a cake, use cake mix and a can of diet soda (coke for chocolate, cream for vanilla, ginger ale for carrot or spice cake...just has to be diet...12 oz or a full can.)

    A few WW tricks lol
