Right now, as I am typing this post, I am patiently (or not so patiently) sitting in front of the oven waiting for these brownies to be done. I am sitting ON THE FLOOR directly in front of the oven.
Bottom line, I really, REALLY like these brownies.
What's so good about these brownies?
Number 1. There are only two ingredients.
Okay, technically three if you count water. So simple!
Number 2. They taste AWESOME! These are my favorite brownies ever. They are not cake-y, more fudgey... I'm not a fan of cakey brownies. And you don't taste the beans - at all!
EDIT: The day after I wrote this post, I was eating more of these brownies and I realized the texture of these brownies are just like prepackaged cosmic brownies! For those of you who don't know what cosmic brownies are, or what they are called, they come packaged individually in a long box and on top they circular, colorful candies. Another variation has chopped nuts on top (those were always my favorite.) So technically, these are a copy recipe of a grocery store brownie!

Number 3. They will blow people away. Seriously. They are the perfect treat to take to a party. Not only are the easy and quick to make (giving you extra time to get ready) but they are also mind blowing! People can't get over the black beans. Try it, you'll see!
Number 4. They are healthier than your average brownie! The black beans replace the oil and eggs in the recipe. Plus, they are a sneaky way to incorporate black beans into your diet.

I didn't think of these brownies myself. I work as a fitness instructor and one of the fellow fitness instructors shared these with some of us. I ate four on the spot (maybe more, I wasn't exactly keeping track.) She got the recipe somewhere on the internet, just so nobody thinks I'm too much of a genius!
Anyway, stop reading this post and go make these!!! The only painstaking part about making these brownies is waiting for them to be done!
Black Bean Brownies (a.k.a the Best Brownies Ever!)
Ingredients:
1 box brownie mix (any kind)
1 14-15 ounce can of black beans
Water
Water
1. Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Spray a 13x9 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Drain your black beans and rinse. Then add the black beans back into the can (without the juice.) Next, fill the can of black beans with water until it reaches the top of the can.
3. In a food processor or a blender, puree your beans very well, trying to eliminate the grittiness of the beans.
4. In a large bowl, mix together your brownie mix and bean puree. Bake according to the back of the box (except for a 13x9 pan, I baked for 22-24 minutes. Just double check with a toothpick, if it comes out clean then you are okay to take them out!) Try to wait til they cool and enjoy!!!
