THE BEST BLACK BEAN BROWNIE!

One of Peace Love Happiness Co`s Baked-Stars is the Brownie Points Black Bean Brownie.  People love the fact that it is made without flour and contains lots of nutrients and fibre.  The crazy thing about this brownie is that you cannot taste the beans!  Believe it or not, using this recipe PLHCO has stumped a few of Toronto’s best chefs into thinking it contains flour.  So what is it besides delicious, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free and organic?

Preheat oven to 350 & bake for approx. 25 minutes or until the top starts to crack.

BLACK BEANS: Where do we start? Black beans are rich in fibre, especially soluble fibre, and they contain tons of protein.  As a result of the soluble fibre, they can lower your cholesterol, and help regulate your blood sugar.  Studies have also shown that they contain many flavonoids which helps to reduce your risk of cancer. They also contain folate, b vitamins and iron!

FLAX SEEDS:  Are rich in protein and essential nutrients such as iron, niacin, calcium, vitamin E and phosphorous and essential omega-3 fatty acids
