We know what you’re thinking. This dessert can\u2019t possibly<\/em> be tasty because it\u2019s vegan, gluten-free<\/a> and made with beans. But trust us on this one \u2014 these black bean brownies are just as rich and moist as ones you\u2019d buy in a bakery. And at just over 100 calories and five grams of sugar<\/a> per serving, you won\u2019t feel guilty eating one or two. A pinch of sea salt will enhance the fudgy, chocolaty flavor, so don\u2019t skip it!<\/p>\n
