16 brownies

Can you believe these amazing rich, fudgy brownies are also healthier and nearly flourless? The secret? Pureed black beans in the batter (yes … black beans! and nope…they’ll never notice they’re there!). They create a dense, thick, moist so-delicious brownie with additional protein & fiber. A yummy, optional chocolate glaze sends these over the top.

Just WW 2 SP each on all myWW plans without chocolate glaze & 3SP each with.
