When it comes to chocolatey foods, brownies are definitely a popular, delicious option. If you are like one of my clients, then I know that you loove brownies. There are two kinds of brownies: the kind that is overflowing with a flour-butter-sugar combo that is the recipe for rapid weight gain; or, there are my kind of brownies, that are made with real ingredients that you can pronounce and understand. No flour, no butter, no sugar, no oil, but the flavor, and deliciousness still remains. And, one more thing, the secret ingredient. How would you feel if I told you that my brownies are full of fiber? How would you feel if I told you that I add black beans to it?
Hold on, don’t go turning your nose up at the suggestion, and don’t you dare roll your eyes at me. I promise that no one will know that those are healthy brownies with a secret hiding inside of them. They will beg you for more, I promise. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
