Bush’s Beans – Black Bean Brownies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

As the title would suggest this recipe is from the Bush’s Bean recipe vault! Bush’s Beans is a local company in the Knoxville area and has been making the best-canned beans for over 100 years.

I made two slight changes to the recipe. Their recipe calls for dark chocolate but I’m a milk chocolate kinda gal. Also, I like to use a brownie pan where each brownie comes out as an edge, they use an 8″ x 8″ pan, either way, these brownies are a crowd pleaser!

Did you know black beans are chaulked full of good nutrients? They are rich in protein, fiber and calcium which basically makes these brownies ‘healthy’… well ok maybe not super healthy but hey, anytime I can sneak in some good-for-me ingredients that a win for me! But there’s more!

The other thing I like about these brownies is how fluffy they are, they just kind of melt in your mouth. Also, they last for several days in an airtight container, which makes it great for snacking all week!
