Mocha Black Bean Brownies
Nothing says midday pick me up quite like a cup of coffee and a brownie, so why not combine the two? These mocha black bean brownies are easy to make in a food processor with ingredients you might already have in your pantry! They’re gluten-free and can be easily made vegan as well. Black beans are full of antioxidants, fibre and protein to keep you fuller for longer. They also don’t spike your blood sugar levels, so you don’t have to worry about another midday slump before dinner.
