2-Bite Black Bean Box Brownies

Ya’ll have heard of black bean brownies, right? I actually developed a from-scratch recipe for one of my clients once upon a time and the recipe ended up getting featured in Redbook magazine, so that was fun. There are plenty of from-scratch recipes out there for black bean brownies…plenty of non-dairy, vegan, gluten-free, superdark chocolate variations. This recipe for 2-Bite Black Bean Box Brownies is not those. This is a quick & easy box brownie adaptation from a mom who is always looking for ways to make the things her kids love a little better for them without a ton of extra fuss.

Boxed Brownies Made Better-for-You

The truth is, I personally really like the flavor of plain ole Duncan Hines boxed brownies. Always have. Fudgey-but-not-too-rich and super easy to make. To make them healthier, I swapped out the requisite eggs and oil for a can of black beans. And you know what? YOU CAN’T TASTE THE DIFFERENCE!
