About a month ago I was letting the hours of my life slowly slip away from me over at pinterest when I saw a pin for flourless brownines from
Skinnytaste.com. I was skeptical to say the least. Black bean brownines? Uh...yeah, that sounds awesome. So of course I had to try it. I followed her recipe exactly and I have to say that I was kind of amazed. No butter, no flour and yet, somehow they were incredibly delicious brownies.
I loved the Skinnytaste brownies but you know the saying; if it ain't broke- tweak it. I stayed pretty true to her recipe on my second go but I cut down on the sugar by a quarter cup, added a bit of cinnamon because I just have this thing about cinnamon and chocolate and I cut the chocolate chips down to 1/4 cup. This part was actually an accident. I was intending to cut it down to 1/2 a cup but realized after I spread the batter in the baking pan that I had forgotten to stir in the first 1/4 cup so I just sprinkled that cup on the top.
Now, I will admit that so far I like the original better. BUT these brownies are still rather good and they are only 2 points each if you're on Weight Watchers. Which is kind of amazing.
I'm planning on playing around with this recipe some more. Next time I'm going to give a go at veganizing it!
