Introduction
Recipe adapted from original: http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/01/12/slow-carb-chocolate-brownie-recipe/
These brownies comply with the "slow carb" diet and are completely Gluten free.
WARNING: NEED MORE SWEETENER (i like mine less sweet, but most people will expect a sweeter brownie, dusted some with powdered sugar at the end or add more sweetener/sugar to mix)
P.S. I cut these into 20 little brownies but ended up eating about 5 of them for breakfast with some Greek yogurt (the nutrition facts are calculated for 1 brownie of 20...but people will probably eat more than 1) Recipe adapted from original: http://www.fourhourbodycouple.com/2011/01/

Ingredients
-
*Black beans (GOYA) Frijoles Negros Low Sodium, 1 cup (remove)
*xylitol, .25 cup (remove)
Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened, .5 cup (remove)

Zucchini, 1 cup, sliced (remove)
Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp (remove)
Baking Powder, .25 tsp (remove)
*Instant espresso powder, .25 tsp (remove)
Tips
Add chocolate chips or powdered sugar to increase sweetness if desired. (I personally did not)
These are VERY chocolate-y so if you want less intense brownies, leave out the espresso powder and decrease the cocoa powder.
