Easy Low Fat Black Bean Brownies! We all love chocolate in our home and brownies are a yummy treat, but I like finding things that are lower in fat and sugar but still have a great taste and satisfy our cravings for “bad for you” foods. Dozens of black bean brownie recipes have floated around the Internet over the last few years but this is a wonderful adaptation using Splenda and Greek Yogurt instead of Sugar and oil.
EASY LOW FAT BLACK BEAN BROWNIES:
INGREDIENTS
1 15oz. can Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 8oz. container plain non fat greek yogurt
1/3 cup Egg Beaters (Egg White Only)
1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 Cup Flour
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup Splenda
1 Tablespoon Crunchy Peanut Butter (optional)
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
Tools Needed: Blender, 8″x8″ casserole
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8″x8″ casserole with non stick spray. Set aside.
In blender mix black beans, yogurt and egg whites until smooth. Add in Vanilla, Splenda and Cocoa Powder and flour until well incorporated. If desired add peanut butter and chocolate chips last and mix until just blended. Pour batter into casserole and cook for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Brownie will be dense.
Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a small scoop of low fat sugar free Vanilla Frozen Yogurt.

Can I substitute an equal amt of regular sugar for the Splenda?
Maryanne, we have not tried that. You are welcome to experiment and let us know! 🙂 Also the Splenda website does say it is a 1 to 1 conversion ratio for Splenda and sugar, meaning you should be able to substitute the same amount
