The combination of two ingredients are what gives these brownies the rich delicious taste that other higher fat brownies have in them.
THE NOT-SO-SECRET INGREDIENT
The use of black beans add a ton of nutrients such as protein, fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Protein in black beans compared to the protein in lean meats, have minimal amounts of saturated fat and contains zero cholesterol.
Protein also increases muscles mass and lean tissue. Foods high in fiber will leave you feeling fuller longer so these protein brownies will actually decrease your need to indulge. Although, you will feel like you are after one taste!
Foods rich in antioxidants have been known to lower the risk of heart disease and different types of cancer. Also, antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, and other minerals like selenium will improve our immune system.
A BROWNIE THAT HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT
As we stated above black beans are rich in fiber which expands and prevents you from overindulging which aids in weight loss. Β They also contain minimal calories so these are a perfect addition for anybody trying to lose weight.
