Dark chocolate black bean brownies
Description
The recipe for these amazing brownies was developed by our fab programmes assistant, Nav. Containing iron, fibre and potassium, they are a great source of nutritional goodness and are naturally sweetened using dates which nicely balances the black beans. Nav says ';if you have never used beans in your baking before, give it a go I dare you!';
