Gluten Free Caramel Mocha Black Bean Brownies & A Giveaway

These flourless cake like textured black bean brownies are delicious, moist and decadent. They are also high in protein.

  I like indulging in treats once in a while, ok about one a week. When I do give into my sweet tooth I like to sneak in some nutrition into my baked goodies. That way I can indulge without feeling guilty. The added nutrition in my dessert is also a great way to get the needed nutrition into my growing boy's bodies. Black bean brownies may sound different and weird but trust me you won't even notice the taste nor texture of the beans. All you will notice is a delicious tasting treat. The trick is to puree the black beans. The black beans and an addition of protein powder make these brownies a high protein treat. I use a protein powder that is made with coffee so you get a nice mocha taste. The protein powder also adds a nice caramel flavor to the brownies. I also included a recipe for a low-fat peanut butter frosting if you want to add a frosting to these brownies.

  This delicious Coffee & Protein Drink Mix contains a double shot of espresso coffee and is simply a great healthy way to get your caffeine fix in the morning.
