Baked treats are back!

     My kids have had to say no to so many baked treats at school baked sales etc. because they did not meet the standards we have. Recently, I have found so many new recipes for baked goods using good ingredients that still taste yummy!
     These brownies have an interesting ingredient but when given to many friends for a blind taste test they LOVED them and were so surprised to hear that the main ingredient was black beans! My kids on the other hand were so excited to be eating brownies and when they heard they had black beans they were even more excited that they were sweet, yummy and had protein!
