Ingredients
  

  • 1 18 oz Brownie Box mix
  • 1 15.5 oz can of Black Beans
  • water
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • First, drain and rinse the beans. Place beans back into the can and fill with water.
  • Puree the beans and water together.
    1 15.5 oz can of Black Beans, water
  • Add the bean puree and brownie mix to a large bowl.
    1 18 oz Brownie Box mix
  • Mix well with a spatula until combined.
  • Spray your brownie pan with nonstick spray and pour in the batter. I used an 11×7 glass pyrex.
  • Top with festive sprinkles, if you like.
    sprinkles
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in pan.
  • Cut into 16 squares.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you use sodium-free beans there's no need to drain! Just blend with canned juices. 
  • You may need to adjust cooking times based on your side pan. I found 30 minutes to be perfect. A toothpick stuck in came out clear and the top was firm to the touch. If you bake longer they will start to dry out and become more cake-like. I went for gooey.
