Can you have the Black Bean Brownies on Phase 1? Those sound good!

I don't know what black bean brownies are. If you posted the recipe or gave us a list of ingredients we could let you know but I suspect if it's made with any type of flour like whole wheat then it's not appropriate for Phase 1.

ETA: I see you posted the recipe and it looks good to me! Let me know how they taste. I'm not a big fan of black beans but this might be worth a try!

Hi-just back from vacation.

Yes, the black bean brownies are okay for any phase. If you add any sf chocolate chips--use your best judgement (I count sf chocolate as a 75 calorie treat).

Try the recipe using banana flavoring and even as muffins with blueberries (P2).

Black bean Brownies:

1 15 oz. can drained and rinsed black beans
4 egs or substitute
1 cup sweetener
1 TBSP baking powder
4 TBSP cocoa
walnuts
sf chocolate chips or broken candy bar

blend until smooth in a blender and bake for about 35 min. at 350.

Use white beans for the banana bread and blueberries for muffins.

You know guys, I'm going to be real careful with these, they sound awesome but could be kind of like the kiss of death to a good way of eating.

For me, they belong in the L to VL, P2. Even though they're made with beans and eggs, the blending would make it more of a processed food then whole food and quite possibly a trigger food???..... jmo

I forgot to list 1 tsp. of vanilla and 2 TBS oil to the recipe...

I don't have a problem using the brownies as a daily desert treat or the muffins for breakfast
