      These brownies are made with black beans instead of flour, so you get plenty of protein, fiber and extra nutrients. The oats and pecans add even more vitamins and minerals, so you enjoy a chocolaty, decadent dessert that is nutritious.

      I’ve always wanted to try a version of black bean brownies. These look superb with the cherries 🙂

      Although I’ve heard about how black beans work incredibly well in chocolate desserts, I’ve never tried it. This looks like a great way to start down that path. I don’t know where I’ll end up, but I’m pretty sure that wherever it is, I’ll be licking my lips 🙂
