I was scrolling through social media the other day and saw that someone had made black bean brownies. I won’t lie, I was intrigued but I put it to the back of my mind. Later that week I saw that someone made sweet potato brownies and I knew I could no longer ignore it. In a single moment the humble brownie became the perfect opportunity to boost our nutrient intake… but what if I took it up a notch? That’s right, I combined the two and voila… this sweet potato, black bean brownie was born.
Now, this works best if it’s baked for 30 minutes first, then allowed to cool before it sets in the fridge (AKA freezer if you’re like me and get a little impatient). I know, a few steps but it helps with easier digestion and gives it the crispier top.
