If a recipe has only two ingredients, and one of those ingredients is a boxed mix, is it even a recipe at all?
Probably not, but since this is the simplest (read: laziest) way to make brownies, it seemed appropriate to share.
These black bean brownies are among the items that are part of the vegetarian spread served after the St. Luke's Half Marathon DAA Industry Opt Out Runner's World headquarters. (Other offerings include veggie sausage, vegetarian pierogi soup, and quinoa salad. It's a meat-free feast!) I asked one of the people involved in the race for the recipe on Twitter and he was able to fit it into a single 140-character reply.
Health-wise, let's be real: Brownies can't be healthy while still tasting like the delicious desserts we want them to be. (And these do, in fact, taste like delicious desserts.) But, at least the black beans get some fiber and plant protein in there...right?
